ENGLISH

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:

"The Prophet (ﷺ) [ﷺ] used to seek refuge from these three: From being overtaken by destruction, from his enemies rejoicing in his misfortune, from being destined to an evil end, and from the difficult moment of a calamity." Sufyan (one of the narrators) said: "There were three, and I mentioned four because I do not remember which one was not one of them."

ARABIC

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سُمَىٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَتَعَوَّذُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الثَّلاَثَةِ مِنْ دَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ وَشَمَاتَةِ الأَعْدَاءِ وَسُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ وَجَهْدِ الْبَلاَءِ ‏.‏ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ هُوَ ثَلاَثَةٌ فَذَكَرْتُ أَرْبَعَةً لأَنِّي لاَ أَحْفَظُ الْوَاحِدَ الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِيهِ ‏.‏
