Hadith about the Dua

Arabic Text

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: "خُذُوا جُنَّتَكُمْ". قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مِنْ عَدُوٍّ قَدْ حَضَرَ؟ قَالَ: "لَا، بَلْ جُنَّتُكُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ، قُولُوا: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، فَإِنَّهُنَّ يَأْتِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مُقَدِّمَاتٍ وَمُعَقِّبَاتٍ وَمُجَنِّبَاتٍ، وَهُنَّ الْبَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ".

Translation

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Take up your shield.” They asked, “O Messenger of Allah, is there an enemy present?” He replied, “No, rather your shield from the Fire: say, ‘Subḥānallāh, wal-ḥamdu lillāh, wa lā ilāha illallāh, wallāhu akbar (How perfect is Allah, all praise is for Allah, none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, and Allah is the Greatest).’ For indeed, they will come on the Day of Resurrection as forerunners, followers, and protectors; and they are the everlasting good deeds.”
