Hadith 5459

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، قَالَ : سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ ، وَعَنِ الدَّجَّالِ ، قَالَ : كَانَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ وَالْهَرَمِ ، وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ ، وَفِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ ، وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ " .
´It was narrated that Khalid said:` "Humaid narrated: 'Anas - bin Malik - was asked about the torment of the grave and about the Dajjal. He said: "The Prophet of Allah [SAW] used to say: Allahumma, inni a'udhu bika minal-kasali, wal-harami, wal-jubni, wal-bukhli, wa fitnatid-dajjali, wa 'adhabil-qabr (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from laziness, old age, cowardice, stinginess, the tribulation of the Dajjal and the torment of the grave.)'"

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
The meaning of the reply of Anas radi Allahu anhu is that indeed the Dajjal will come and the punishment of the grave is true. The trial (fitnah) of the Dajjal refers to following him. Or the intent may be that the Dajjal does not come during our lifetime so that we may be saved from this trial. In the first case, the meaning of fitnah will be misguidance, which can be the result of a trial.
