Thinking about death

The Book of Seeking Refuge with Allah

Sunan an-Nasā'ī 5531

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ التَّرَدِّي وَالْهَدْمِ وَالْغَرَقِ وَالْحَرِيقِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ يَتَخَبَّطَنِي الشَّيْطَانُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَمُوتَ فِي سَبِيلِكَ مُدْبِرًا وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَمُوتَ لَدِيغًا

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika mina at-taraddī wa-l-hadmi wa-l-gharaqi wa-l-ḥarīqi wa-aʿūdhu bika an yatakhabbaṭanī ash-shayṭānu ʿinda al-mawti wa-aʿūdhu bika an amūta fī sabīlika mudbiran wa-aʿūdhu bika an amūta ladīghan

The full narration

It was narrated that Abu Al-Yasar said:"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] used to say: 'Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minat-taraddi, wal-hadmi, wal-gharaqi, wal-hariqi, wa a'udhu bika, an yatakhabbatanish-shaitanu 'indal-mawti, wa a'udhu bika an amuta fi sabilika mudbiran, wa a'udhu bika an amuta ladigha (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from being thrown from a high place or crushed beneath a falling wall, or drowning or being burned, and I seek refuge with You from being led astray by the Shaitan at the time of death, and I seek refuge with You from dying in Your cause while fleeing from the battlefield, and I seek refuge with You from dying of a scorpion sting)
