When everything feels like it is going wrong at once
Refuge from the trials of living and of dying, sought in the prayer itself.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَمِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ، وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ، وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ
Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min ʿadhābi-l-qabr, wa min ʿadhābi-n-nār, wa min fitnati-l-maḥyā wa-l-mamāt, wa min fitnati-l-Masīḥi-d-Dajjāl.
“O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, from the punishment of the Fire, from the trial of living and of dying, and from the trial of the False Messiah.”
The full narration
Narrated Abu Huraira:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to invoke (Allah): "Allahumma ini a`udhu bika min 'adhabi-l-Qabr, wa min 'adhabi-nnar, wa min fitnati-l-mahya wa-lmamat, wa min fitnati-l-masih ad-dajjal. (O Allah! I seek refuge with you from the punishment in the grave and from the punishment in the Hell fire and from the afflictions of life and death, and the afflictions of Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal)
