Prayer to Avoid Anxiety and Trance

Hadith of Imam Ahmad, 6th Book, Chapter Musnad Abu Hurairah Ra.

حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَمُوتَ غَمًّا أَوْ هَمًّا أَوْ أَنْ أَمُوتَ غَرَقًا أَوْ أَنْ يَتَخَبَّطَنِيَ الشَّيْطَانُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ أَوْ أَنْ أَمُوتَ لَدِيغًا

Has told us Aswad,  he said: has told us Isra`il from Ibrahim Abu Ishaq from Sa'id Al Maqburi from Abu Hurairah, he said: Rasulullah SAW said: "Ya Allah, I seek refuge in You, namely from death because sadness or anxiety, or I die from drowning, or because a satan/demon/devil puts me into a trance when I die, or I die from being stung by a poisonous animal."

Tafsir:

This hadith contains a prayer of protection taught by Rasulullah SAW, which contains valuable lessons in three aspects: aqidah (faith), akhlaq (morals/ethics), and fiqh (Islamic law).

1. Aqidah (Faith): This hadith teaches the importance of faith in Allah as the protector and giver of security.  This prayer reminds us that Allah is the only true source of protection, and we should depend on Him in all aspects of life, including protecting ourselves from danger.

2. Akhlaq (Moral/Ethics): This prayer reflects good morals and ethics.  Rasulullah SAW taught his people to avoid excessive feelings of sadness and anxiety because they can have a negative impact on mental and physical health.  It also teaches the importance of avoiding actions that could harm yourself, such as drowning or being stung by venomous animals.  This reflects wisdom in taking care of oneself and avoiding actions that could be dangerous.

3. Fiqh (Islamic Law): Although this hadith is not directly related to Islamic law, it contains a relevant message in the context of fiqh.  This prayer reminds us of the importance of maintaining personal safety and avoiding dangerous actions.  In Islamic law, preserving life is one of the highest priorities, and actions that have the potential to endanger life must be avoided.

الخلاصة: يتضمن هذا الحديث دعاء الاستعاذة بالله من أنواع الموت المختلفة التي قد تكون بسبب الحزن أو القلق أو الغرق أو المس بسبب تدخل الشيطان أو لدغة الحيوانات السامة.

الْخُلَاصَةُ: يَتَضَمَّنُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ دُعَاءَ الِاسْتِعَاذَةِ بِاَللَّهِ مِنْ أَنْوَاعِ الْمَوْتِ الْمُخْتَلِفَةِ الَّتِي قَدْ تَكُونُ بِسَبَبِ الْحَزَنِ أَوْ الْقَلَقِ أَوْ الْغَرَقِ أَوْ الْمَسِّ بِسَبَبِ تَدَخُّلِ الشَّيْطَانِ أَوْ لَدْغَةِ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ السَّامَّةِ.

Conclusion: This hadith contains a prayer asking for protection from Allah from various forms of death which may be caused by sadness, anxiety, drowning, possession due to satanic interference, or stings from poisonous animals.
