`Narrated by Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to seek refuge from severe hardship, reaching of misfortune, the rejoicing of enemies, and the evil of fate.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him): I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "O Allah! For any believer whom I have spoken harshly to, make that harshness a means of closeness to You for him on the Day of Resurrection."

The conqueror of Persia, Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him), says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to command seeking refuge from these five things:“O Allah! I seek refuge in You from miserliness. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from cowardice. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from living till the worst part of old age. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the trials of the world, that is, the trial of Dajjal. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave.”

Narrated from Ummul Momineen Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say (translation): "O Allah! I seek refuge in You from laziness and extreme old age, and I seek refuge in You from sin and debt and liability. I seek refuge in You from the trial of the grave and the punishment of the grave. I seek refuge in You from the trial of Hell and the punishment of Hell. I seek refuge in You from the trial of wealth and the trial of poverty, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of the False Messiah (Dajjal). O Allah! I seek refuge in You. O Allah! Wash away my sins with the water of snow and hail, and cleanse my heart from sins as a white garment is cleansed from dirt, and create distance between me and my sins as You have made distance between the east and the west."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would often make this supplication: "O Allah! O our Lord!

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to supplicate: "Lord of the worlds! Forgive my mistakes, my ignorance, and my excesses in all my affairs, and what You know better than I do. O Allah! Forgive my inadvertent errors, what I did intentionally, my ignorance, and my frivolous acts, for all these are present in me. O Allah! Forgive my past and future sins, my hidden and open sins."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari and Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever recites the above-mentioned phrase (the declaration of faith: La ilaha illallah...) ten times, will receive a reward as if he has freed one slave from the descendants of Isma'il (peace be upon him)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever recites in a day one hundred times: (La ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahu’l-mulku wa lahu’l-hamdu wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer) — There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, He is alone, He has no partner, His is the dominion and His is all praise, and He is powerful over everything — he will have the reward of freeing ten slaves, and one hundred good deeds will be written in his record, and one hundred sins will be erased, and he will be safe from Satan that day until evening, and no one will be better than him except the one who recites it more than this."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever recites 'Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi' one hundred times in a day, all his sins will be erased, even if (his sins) are as much as the foam of the sea."
