Context
We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥ of al-Bukhārī in the first part of the Book of Jihād from Sa‘d ibn Abī Waqqāṣ
, that the Messenger of Allah
used to seek protection after ṣalāh with these words: “O Allah, I seek Your protection from cowardice, I seek Your protection from being brought back to a miserable old age, I seek Your protection from the trials of the world, and I seek Your protection from punishment in the grave.” [9].
