I am not going to say anything but only that which Messenger of Allah (may peace be upgn him) used to say. He used to supplicate:" O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from incapacity, from sloth, from cowardice, from miserliness, decrepitude and from torment of the grave. O Allah, grant to my soul the sense of righteousness and purify it, for Thou art the Best Purifier thereof. Thou art the Protecting Friend thereof, and Guardian thereof. O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the knowledge which does not benefit, from the heart that does not entertain the fear (of Allah), from the soul that does not feel contented and the supplication that is not responded."

أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ قَالَ لَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِلَّا مَا

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَنَا قَالَ «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْهَرَمِ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ اللهُمَّ آتِ أَنْفُسَنَا تَقْوَاهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا أَنْتَ وَلِيِّهَا وَمَوْلَاهَا اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ» قَالَ أَحْمَدُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ «مِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ» وَقَالَا جَمِيعًا «وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَمِنْ دَعْوَةٍ لَا يُسْتَجَابُ لَهَا»
