Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

ISTI’AZAH SEEKING REFUGE IN ALLAH (SUPPLICATIONS)

There is no mischief, no trouble, no rising, no mishap and no calamity, either worldly or in the life hereafter, from which the Prophet should not have sought refuge in ALLAAH and should not have guided his Ummah to do so. Some of the supplications have been mentioned hereafter. Hadrat Shutair bin Shakab bin Humaid said that his father asked ALLAAH’s Prophet to teach him a formula by which he might seek refuge in ALLAAH He held his hand and asked him to say:

(O ALLAAH, I seek refuge in Thee from evil of what I hear, see, speak, think about and from evil arising from my sexual passion). [Abu Dawud, Tirmizi]

Hadrat Aishah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anha) said that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) used to say:

“O ALLAAH, I seek refuge in Thee from slackness, decreptitude, debt and sin. O ALLAAH, I seek refuge in Thee from the punishment in hell, the trial in the grave, the punishment in the grave, the evil of the trial of riches, the evil of the trial of poverty, and the evil of the testing of the Anti-Christ (Dajjal). O ALLAAH, wash away my sins with snow and hail water, purify my heart as a white garment is purified from flith, and put my sins as far away from me as Thou has put the east form the west. [Bukhari, Muslim]

Hadrat Abdullah bin Umar (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that one of the supplications of ALLAAH’s messenger was,

“O ALLAAH, I seek refuge in Thee from the decline of Thy favour, change in Thy granting well being, sudden vengeance from Thee, and all Thy displeasure.” [Muslim]
