Repetition guidance: 3x

اَللّٰهُمَّ عَافِنِيْ فِيْ بَدَنِيْ ، اَللّٰهُمَّ عَافِنِيْ فِيْ سَمْعِيْ ، اَللّٰهُمَّ عَافِنِيْ فِيْ بَصَرِيْ ، لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ وَالْفَقْرِ، وأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ.

Transliteration

Allāhumma ʿāfinī fī badanī, Allāhumma ʿāfinī fī samʿī, Allāhumma ʿāfinī fī baṣarī, lā ilāha illā Ant, Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika mina-l-kufri wa-l-faqr, wa aʿūdhu bika min ʿadhābi-l-qabr, lā ilāha illā Ant.

Translation

O Allah, grant me well-being in my body. O Allah, grant me well-being in my hearing. O Allah, grant me well-being in my sight. There is no god worthy of worship except You. O Allah, I seek Your protection from disbelief and poverty and I seek Your protection from the punishment of the grave. There is no god worthy of worship except You.

Virtue and context

Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakrah said to his father, Abu Bakrah (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu), that he heard him every morning asking Allah for health in his body, hearing, and sight, and affirming that none is worthy of worship except Him. He noted that his father repeated the words three times in the morning and three times in the evening. Abu Bakrah explained that he had heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ use these words in supplication and wished to follow his practice. Another wording on the page adds seeking refuge from disbelief and poverty and from punishment in the grave, again repeated three times in the morning and evening. The page then records a further supplication for a distressed person, asking for Allah’s mercy and for every affair to be set right.
