Hadith about the Dua
Arabic Text
عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ كُنْتُ أَخْدُمُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كُلَّمَا نَزَلَ، فَأَعْنِي بِحَاجَتِهِ، فَقَالَ لِي يَوْمًا " يَا بُنَيَّ إِذَا دَخَلْتَ عَلَى أَهْلِكَ فَسَلِّمْ يَكُنْ بَرَكَةً عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ "، وَقَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ، وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ، وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ، وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ ".
Anas narrated: I used to serve the Prophet (ﷺ) whenever he stayed somewhere. One day, he said to me, “O my son, when you enter upon your family, greet them with peace; it will be a blessing for you and for the people of your house.” And he said: “O Allah, I seek refuge with You from worry and grief, from incapacity and laziness, from cowardice and miserliness, from the burden of debt and from being overpowered by men.”
