عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْمَسْجِدَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، فَإِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ، فَقَالَ " يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ مَا لِي أَرَاكَ جَالِسًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فِي غَيْرِ وَقْتِ الصَّلاَةِ " . قَالَ هُمُومٌ لَزِمَتْنِي وَدُيُونٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . قَالَ " أَفَلاَ أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ إِذَا أَنْتَ قُلْتَهَا أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هَمَّكَ وَقَضَى عَنْكَ دَيْنَكَ " . قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . قَالَ " قُلْ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ وَإِذَا أَمْسَيْتَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ غَلَبَةِ الدَّيْنِ وَقَهْرِ الرِّجَالِ " .
Abu Sa‘id Al-Khudri reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered the mosque one day and saw a man from the Ansar called Abu Umamah. He said: “O Abu Umamah, why do I see you sitting in the mosque at a time other than the prayer?” He replied: “Worries and debts have overcome me, O Messenger of Allah.” He said: “Shall I not teach you words which, if you say them, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will remove your worry and settle your debt?” I said: “Yes, O Messenger of Allah.” He said: “Say in the morning and evening: O Allah, I seek refuge in You from worry and grief, and I seek refuge in You from incapacity and laziness, and I seek refuge in You from cowardice and miserliness, and I seek refuge in You from being overcome by debt and overpowered by men.”
