حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَخْبَرَنَا زَکَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ هُوَ ابْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّقِّيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ وَعَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ قَالَا کَانَ سَعْدٌ يُعَلِّمُ بَنِيهِ هَؤُلَائِ الْکَلِمَاتِ کَمَا يُعَلِّمُ الْمُکَتِّبُ الْغِلْمَانَ وَيَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ يَتَعَوَّذُ بِهِنَّ دُبُرَ الصَّلَاةِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِکَ مِنْ الْجُبْنِ وَأَعُوذُ بِکَ مِنْ الْبُخْلِ وَأَعُوذُ بِکَ مِنْ أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ وَأَعُوذُ بِکَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَبُو إِسْحَقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ يَضْطَرِبُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَيَقُولُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ وَيَقُولُ عَنْ غَيْرِهِ وَيَضْطَرِبُ فِيهِ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 3567
Mus`ab bin Sa`d and `Amr bin Maimun narrated: “Sa`d used to teach his children these words just as the Muktib teaches children, he would say: ‘Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to seek refuge by saying them at the end of (every) Salat: O Allah I seek refuge in You from cowardliness, I seek refuge in You from miserliness, I seek refuge in You from feeble old age, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of the world, and the punishment of the grave (Allāhumma innī a`ūdhu bika minal-jubn, wa a`ūdhu bika minal-bukhl, wa a`ūdhu bika min ardhalil-`umur, wa a`ūdhu bika min fitnatid-dunyā wa `adhābil qabr).’”
