اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ، وَفُجَاءَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ، وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ القَبْرِ، وَعَذَابِ القَبْرِ، وَشَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الغِنَى، وَشَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الفَقْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ فِتْنَةِ المَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْ قَلْبِي بِمَاءِ الثَّلْجِ وَالبَرَدِ، وَنَقِّ قَلْبِي مِنَ الخَطَايَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، وَبَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَا كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ المَشْرِقِ وَالمَغْرِبِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الهُدَى وَالتُّقَى، وَالعَفَافَ وَالغِنَى، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ جَهْدِ البَلاءِ، وَدَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ، وَسُوءِ القَضَاءِ، وَشَمَاتَةِ الأَعْدَاءِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الثَّبَاتَ فِي الأَمْرِ، وَالعَزِيمَةَ عَلَى الرُّشْدِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ شُكْرَ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَحُسْنَ عِبَادَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ قَلْبًا سَلِيمًا، وَلِسَانًا صَادِقًا، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا تَعْلَمُ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا تَعْلَمُ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِمَّا تَعْلَمُ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الغُيُوبِ.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the disappearance of Your blessings, the reversal of the wellness You granted, the suddenness of Your punishment, and all that displeases You. I seek refuge in You from the trials of the grave and the punishment of the grave, and from the evil of the trials of wealth, and the evil of the trials of poverty. And I seek refuge in You from the evil of the trials of the Dajjal. O Allah, cleanse my heart with the water of snow and hail, and purify my heart from sins just as You purified the white garment from dirt, and keep me far from my sins just as You kept the East far from the West. O Allah, I ask You for guidance and piety, chastity and contentment. And I seek refuge in You from the hardships of trials, the pangs of misery, evil decrees, and the rejoicing of enemies. O Allah, I ask You for steadfastness in all matters, and determination to follow the right path. I ask You to enable me to be grateful for Your favors and to worship You well. I ask You for a sound heart and a truthful tongue. And I seek refuge in You from the evil of what You know, and I ask You for the good of what You know, and I seek Your forgiveness for that which You know. Indeed, You are the Knower of the unseen.
