اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْفِتْنَةِ، إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْفِتْنَةِ، إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْفِتْنَةِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ عَذَابِ النَّارِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْغِنَى، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْفَقْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْ قَلْبِي بِمَاءِ الثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ، وَنَقِّ قَلْبِي مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، وَبَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَاىَ كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the tribulation, I seek refuge in You from the tribulation, I seek refuge in You from the tribulation. And I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the Fire, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of wealth, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of poverty, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of the False Messiah (Dajjal). O Allah, wash my heart with the water of snow and hail, and cleanse my heart from sins as You cleansed the white garment from filth, and set me far from my sins as You set the East and the West far apart.
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-fitnah, inni a'udhu bika minal-fitnah, inni a'udhu bika minal-fitnah, wa a'udhu bika min 'adhab al-qabr, wa a'udhu bika min 'adhab an-nar, wa a'udhu bika min fitnat al-ghina, wa a'udhu bika min fitnat al-faqr, wa a'udhu bika min fitnat al-masih ad-Dajjal. Allahumma ighsil qalbi bimā'i ath-thalji wal-barad, wa naqqi qalbi minal-khataaya kama naqqaita ath-thawb al-abyada min ad-danas, wa ba'id bayni wa bayna khataayaaya kama ba'adta baynal-mashriqi wal-maghrib.

Source & Authentication
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to seek refuge in Allah in his prayers by saying: Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-'adhab al-jahannam, wa a'udhu bika min 'adhab al-qabr, wa a'udhu bika min fitnat al-masih ad-Dajjal, wa a'udhu bika min fitnat ad-dunya, wa a'udhu bika min fitnat al-ghina, wa a'udhu bika min fitnat al-faqr, wa a'udhu bika min fitnat al-ithm wal-maghram. (Then one of the narrators said: 'And we seek refuge in You from the trial of the Dajjal', and the Prophet said: 'O Allah, wash my heart with the water of snow and hail, and cleanse my heart from sins as You cleansed the white garment from filth, and set me far from my sins as You set the East and the West far apart, O Allah, there is no one to give what You give, nor anyone to withhold what You give, and the wealth is of no avail to the possessor of wealth, for it is from You alone that this wealth comes.')
