Riyad as-Salihin, 1478
'Abdullah bin 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to supplicate thus: "Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min zawali ni'matika, wa tahawwuli 'afiyatika, wa fuja'ati niqmatika, wa jami'i sakhatika (O Allah! I seek refuge in You against the declining of Your Favours, passing of safety, the suddenness of Your punishment and all that which displeases You)." <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنه الله عنهما قال: كان من دعاء رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم:
اللهم إني أعوذ بك من زوال نعمتك، وتحول عافيتك، وفجاءة نقمتك، وجميع سخطك
((رواه مسلم)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) A slave has to make good use of the blessing of wellness by observing acts of obedience constantly and abundantly.<br>
2) The removal of blessings and being afflicted by illness along with incurring the displeasure of Allah Almighty is one of the most serious reasons for loss and deprivation in the worldly life and the Hereafter. So, a slave should seek refuge with Allah from that.<br>
3) A Muslim is encouraged to do all that purifies his soul.<br>
4) A Muslim should be keen on learning beneficial knowledge which inspires awe in the heart. This is definitely the knowledge related to the Qur’an and the Sunnah which is communicated by the one who taught people all what is good, Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him).
