Sayyiduna Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I will say to you only what the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to say. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to say: O Allah! I seek refuge with You from incapacity, laziness, cowardice, miserliness, old age, and the torment of the grave. O Allah! Grant my soul piety and purify it, for You are the best to purify it. You are its Guardian and Master. O Allah! I seek refuge with You from knowledge that does not benefit, from a heart that does not humble itself before You, from a soul that is never satisfied, and from a supplication that is not answered.
