اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا عَمِلْتُ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا لَمْ أَعْمَلْ
I seek refuge in Thee from the evil of what I did and from the evil of what I did not.

What It Means: Reading in Context
Farwa asks Aisha about a supplication used by the Prophet. This is the prayer within that exchange. The source’s English rendering does not separately translate the Arabic opening address to Allah; both texts are retained as published. The wording asks for protection rather than asserting that every unperformed act is sinful. This entry comes from Sahih Muslim 2716a. 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.
