أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُصْعَبَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ قَالَ کَانَ سَعْدٌ يُعَلِّمُهُ هَؤُلَائِ الْکَلِمَاتِ وَيَرْوِيهِنَّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِکَ مِنْ الْبُخْلِ وَأَعُوذُ بِکَ مِنْ الْجُبْنِ وَأَعُوذُ بِکَ مِنْ أَنْ أُرَدَّ إِلَی أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ وَأَعُوذُ بِکَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5493
Mus’ab bin Saad said that Saad used to teach him these words, narrating from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم (Allah, I seek refuge with You from miserliness, and I seek refuge with You from cowardice, and I seek refuge with You from reaching the age of senility, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of this world and the torment of the grave.)” (Sahih).
