حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ نُمَيْرٍ - قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الآَخَرَانِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ وَعَنْ أَبِى عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِىِّ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ قَالَ لاَ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِلاَّ كَمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَقُولُ كَانَ يَقُولُ « اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّى أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْهَرَمِ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِى تَقْوَاهَا وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلاَهَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّى أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لاَ يَنْفَعُ وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لاَ يَخْشَعُ وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لاَ تَشْبَعُ وَمِنْ دَعْوَةٍ لاَ يُسْتَجَابُ لَهَا ».

It was narrated that Zaid bin Arqam said: "I do not tell you anything but that which the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said. He used to say: 'Allahumma, inni a'udhu bika minal- 'ajzi wal-kasali, wal-jubni wal-bukhli, wal-harami wa 'adhabil-qabr. Allahumma, ati nafsi taqwaha, wa zakkiha anta khairu man zakkaha, anta waliyyuha wa mawlaha. Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min 'ilmi la yanfa'u wa min qalbilla yakhsha'u, wa min nafsilla yashba'u, wa min da'watilla yustajabu laha (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from helplessness, laziness, cowardice, miserliness, old age and the torment of the grave. O Allah, grant my soul piety and purify it, for You are the best to purify it, You are its Guardian and its Lord. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from knowledge that is not beneficial, a heart that is not humble (before You), a soul that is not satisfied and a prayer that is not answered)."'
