Protection from Harm
Some of the most frequent supplications that the Prophet ﷺ would make are those commonly referred to as adkhār al-ṣabāḥ wa-al-masāʾ, supplications of the morning and evening. The “morning” here refers to the time between dawn (fajr) and sunrise, while the “evening” refers to the beginning of ʿaṣr time until sunset. Allah has specified these times for glorifying and remembering Him. Allah says,
وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا
Duʿāʾ made during this time has special merit and puts one on the path of being from those praised by Allah as “men and women who remember Allah often.” Ibn al-Ṣalāḥ (d. 643 AH) said, “Whoever consistently says the prophetic adhkārof the morning and evening, along with the supplications that are specific to time and situation … is among those who remember Allah often.”
The following eight supplications were made by the Prophet ﷺ regularly. We need them to bring life to our hearts. Ibn Taymīyah said, “Dhikr is to the heart like water is to fish. In what condition would the fish be without water?!” Moreover, the Prophet ﷺ himself said, “The example of the one who remembers his Lord compared to one who does not remember his Lord is like that of the living and the dead.”
We have reached the evening, and all sovereignty remains with Allah this evening, and all praise is for Allah. There is no true God except Allah, alone, without a partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and praise, and He has power over all things. My Lord, I ask You for the good in this night, and the good of what follows it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil in this night and the evil of what follows it. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from laziness and from the harms of old age. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from torment in the Fire and punishment in the grave. [Muslim]
