اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْمَأْثَمِ وَالْمَغْرَمِ.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of the False Christ (Dajjal), and I seek refuge in You from the trial of life and death. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from sin and debt.
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min 'adhabi al-qabri, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil-masihid-dajjal, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil-mahya wal-mawat. Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-ma'thami wal-maghram.
