739. Seeking refuge from harmful knowledge and rejection of duas
Narrated by Anas Ibn Malik (RA): The Prophet (ﷺ) used to recite these supplications:
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ وَقَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَدُعَاءٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ وَنَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَرْبَعِ
Allaahumma inni A‛oodhu bika min 'ilmin laa yanfa'u, wa qalbin laa yakhsha'u, wa du'a'in laa yasma'u, wa nafsin laa tashba'u. Allaahumma inni A‛oodhu bika min ha'ula'il-arbae'
O Allah, I seek refuge with You from knowledge that is of no benefit, a heart that is not humble, a supplication that is not heard and a soul that is not satisfied. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from these four.
