اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْبُخْلِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْجُبْنِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُرَدَّ إِلَى أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدُّنْيَا يَعْنِي فِتْنَةَ الدَّجَّالِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika mina al-bukhli, wa-aʿūdhu bika mina al-jubni, wa-aʿūdhu bika an uradda ilā ardhali al-ʿumuri, wa-aʿūdhu bika min fitnah ad-dunyā yaʿnī fitnaha ad-dajjāli wa-aʿūdhu bika min ʿadhābi al-qabri

The full narration

Narrated Mus`ab:Sa`d used to recommend five (statements) and mentioned that the Prophet (ﷺ) I used to recommend it. (It was) "O Allah! I seek refuge with You from miserliness; and seek refuge with You from cowardice; and seek refuge with You from being sent back to geriatric old age; and I seek refuge with You from the affliction of this world (i.e., the affliction of Ad-Dajjal etc.); and seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave
