Seek refuge from worry and grief

What It Means: Reading in Context

This is the opening request of a longer supplication. The remaining words ask for refuge from incapacity, laziness, cowardice, miserliness, heavy debt and being overpowered by others. This excerpt is a prayer for refuge, not a claim that distress indicates weak faith. This entry comes from Sahih al-Bukhari 6369. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
