Dua After Fajr and Maghrib English Translation
O Allah, protect me from Hell.
Harith ibn Muslim (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: When you finish the maghrib prayer, say: 'O Allah, protect me from Hell" seven times; for if you say that and die that night, Allah will protect you from jahannam; and when you finish the fajr prayer, say it in a similar way, for if you die that day, Allah will protect you from jahannam. Most of the muhaddithin have considered this hadith to be acceptable.
Hadith about the Dua
Arabic Text
اَللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ
O Allah, protect me from the Fire. Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "When you finish the Maghrib prayer, say: 'O Allah, save me from the Fire' seven times. If you say this and then die that night, you will be protected from it. And when you finish the Fajr prayer, say the same, for if you die that day, you will be protected from it." حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: "إِذَا صَلَّيْتُمْ الْمَغْرِبَ فَقُولُوا: اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ، سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَإِنَّكُمْ إِنْ قُلْتُمُوهَا ثُمَّ مُتُّمْ مِنْ لَيْلَتِكُمْ كُتِبَ لَكُمْ جِوَارٌ مِنَ النَّارِ، وَإِذَا صَلَّيْتُمُ الصُّبْحَ فَقُولُوا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَإِنْ مُتُّمْ مِنْ يَوْمِكُمْ كُتِبَ لَكُمْ جِوَارٌ مِنَ النَّارِ".
