Prophet’s prayers for refuge with Allaah and dhikr at times of tribulation and hardship: Praise be to Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to seek refuge with Allaah a great deal from trials and tribulations, as it says in the hadeeth of Zayd ibn Thaabit that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “Seek refuge with Allaah from trials and tribulations, both visible and hidden.” Narrated by Muslim, 2867.
