اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَدْمِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ التَّرَدِّي، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْغَرَقِ وَالْحَرَقِ وَالْهَرَمِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ يَتَخَبَّطَنِيَ الشَّيْطَانُ عِندَ الْمَوْتِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَمُوتَ فِي سَبِيلِكَ مُدْبِرًا، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَمُوتَ لَدِيغًا.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from destruction, and I seek refuge in You from falling from a height, and I seek refuge in You from drowning, burning, and senility. And I seek refuge in You from being afflicted by Shaytan at the time of death, and I seek refuge in You from dying while fleeing in Your cause, and I seek refuge in You from dying due to a venomous sting. Abu Dawud narrated: عَنْ أَبِي الْيَسَرِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ.
