The Prophet's ﷺ Dua Against Anxiety and Grief

The Prophet's ﷺ Dua Against Anxiety and Grief

This supplication seeks refuge from eight burdens in pairs: anxiety and grief, incapacity and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, debt and being overpowered. The Prophet ﷺ said it so regularly that Abu Sa'id reported Allah removed his worry and settled his debt through it (Abu Dawud 1555).
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ، وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْجُبْنِ، وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-hammi wal-hazan, wal-'ajzi wal-kasal, wal-bukhli wal-jubn, wa dhala'id-dayni wa ghalabatir-rijal
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from anxiety and grief, from incapacity and laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, and from being overwhelmed by debt and overpowered by men.
