اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَمِنْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, and from the punishment of Hellfire, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of life and death, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of the Antichrist.
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min 'adhab al-qabr, wa min 'adhab jahannam, wa a'udhu bika min fitnat al-mahya wal-ma'at, wa a'udhu bika min fitnat ad-dajjal
