735. Dua for avoiding death by accidents

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray like this:

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَدْمِ وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ التَّرَدِّيْ وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْغَرَقِ وَالْحَرَقِ وَالْهَرَمِ وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ أَنْ يَتَخَبَّطَنِيَ الشَّيْطَانُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَمُوْتَ فِي سَبِيْلِكَ مُدْبِرًا وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَمُوْتَ لَدِيْغًا

Allaahumma inni a‛oodhu bika minal-hadmi, wa a‛oodhu bika minat-taraddi, wa a‛oodhu bika minal-gharaqi, wal-‘haraqi wal-harami, Wa a‛oodhu bika an yata-khabbataniyash-shaitaanu ‛indal-mauti, wa a‛oodhu bika an amoota fee sabeelika mudbiran, wa a‛oodhu bika min an amoota la-deegha

Translation

O Allah I seek refuge in You from [a death caused by] demolition, and I seek refuge in You from [a death caused by] tumbling from a hight, and I seek refuge in You from drowning, [a death caused by] burning [due to fire], old and infirm age. And I seek refuge in You from the deception of the devil at the moments of death, and I seek refuge in You from dying while fleeing [the battlefield] during a battle [fought] in Your sake, and I seek refuge in You from dying from a [venomous] sting.
