اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ، وَفُجَاءَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ، وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the decline of Your blessings, the change of Your protection, the suddenness of Your punishment, and all that displeases You.
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min zawali ni'matik, wa tahawwuli 'afiyatik, wa fuja'ati niqmatik, wa jami'i sukhitik.

Narrated by Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): While Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was on his way to Medina, his mount became unmanageable and almost threw him. The companions said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we fear that your mount might cause you harm.' He said: 'You do not fear me, but Allah.' Then he said: 'O Allah, You are my companion in the journey and the keeper of my family. O Allah, keep me with them and grant me the best of what You grant to any one of them. O Allah, keep me away from the evil of this journey and from the evil of what we see in it, and from the evil of the land and the evil of the road.' When they returned, he recited this dua: 'Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min zawali ni'matik, wa tahawwuli 'afiyatik, wa fuja'ati niqmatik, wa jami'i sukhitik.' (O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the decline of Your blessings, the change of Your protection, the suddenness of Your punishment, and all that displeases You.)
