Six things he took shelter from
They run from the start of a life to the end of it.
أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْهَرَمِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ
Aʿūdhu bika mina-l-ʿajzi wa-l-kasali wa-l-jubni wa-l-haram, wa aʿūdhu bika min fitnati-l-maḥyā wa-l-mamāt, wa aʿūdhu bika min ʿadhābi-l-qabr
“I seek refuge in You from incapacity and laziness, from cowardice and decrepitude, and from the trial of living and of dying, and from the punishment of the grave.”
Where this comes from
ʿAjz is not being able. Kasal is being able and not doing it. They are placed side by side, and only one of them is anybody's fault.
The full narration
Narrated Anas bin Malik:The Prophet (ﷺ) used to say, "O Allah! I seek refuge with You from helplessness, laziness, cowardice and feeble old age; I seek refuge with You from afflictions of life and death and seek refuge with You from the punishment in the grave
