Riyad as-Salihin, 1471
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Seek refuge in Allah against the turmoils, attacks of misfortunes, and evil of judgement and joys of the enemies." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim] </b>. And in a narration Sufyan said "I suspect I added one."
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، قال:
تعوذوا بالله من جهد البلاء، ودرك الشقاء، وسوء القضاء، وشماته الأعداء
((متفق عليه)). وفي رواية: قال سفيان: أشك أني زدت واحدة منها.

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) One has to obey the command of the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) regarding seeking Allah’s refuge from these four matters.<br>
2) One of the greatest fruits of seeking refuge with Allah and supplicating Him is to display one’s need to His Lord and implore Him. This actually is a manifestation of one’s perfect application of the oneness of worship to Allah Almighty.
