It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to seek refuge from five things: from cowardice, from miserliness, from the evil of old age (a feeble, useless old age), from the punishment of the grave, and from the trial of the heart (suspicion and rancour). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say in his supplication: 'Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-'ajzi wal-kasal, wal-jubni wal-bukhl, wal-harami wal-qaswah, wal-ghaflati wal-'aylah, wadh-dhillati wal-maskanah, wa a'udhu bika minal-faqri wal-kufr, wal-fusuqi wash-shiqaqi wan-nifaqi was-sum'ati war-riya', wa a'udhu bika minas-samami wal-bakami wal-junun, wal-judhami wal-baras, wa sayyi'il-asqam' (O Allah, I seek refuge in You from incapacity, laziness, cowardice, miserliness, extreme old age, hardness of heart, heedlessness, destitution, humiliation and neediness; and I seek refuge in You from poverty, disbelief, sin and disobedience, discord, hypocrisy, seeking fame and showing off; and I seek refuge in You from deafness, muteness, insanity, leprosy, vitiligo and all evil diseases). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.
