Seeking Refuge from Four Evils in the Final Tashahhud of Prayer

Explicitly established in Quran or Sahih Hadith as ruqyah/protection for this exact matter.

The Prophet (ﷺ) commanded that after reciting the Tashahhud in every prayer and before giving the Tasleem, one must seek refuge in Allah from four grave matters: the torment of Hellfire, the punishment of the grave, the trials of life and death, and the evil of the trial of the False Messiah (Dajjal) (Sahih Muslim 588). This is the believer's strongest daily protection, performed five times a day.

Sahih Muslim Sahih

إِذَا تَشَهَّدَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ أَرْبَعٍ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ وَمِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ

Translation (EN)

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'When any one of you recites the Tashahhud, let him seek refuge in Allah from four things, saying: O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the torment of Hell, from the torment of the grave, from the trials of life and death, and from the evil of the trial of the Dajjal.'

How to Perform / When to Recite

In every obligatory and voluntary prayer, after the final Tashahhud and before the Tasleem, say: 'Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min 'adhabi jahannam, wa min 'adhabil-qabr, wa min fitnatil-mahya wal-mamaat, wa min sharri fitnatil-maseehid-dajjaal.'

Important Safety Note: Ruqyah is a means of seeking Allah's protection and healing; it does not replace medical care. Never hang amulets or go to fortune-tellers/sorcerers.
