Protection from Bad Endings

Hadith/Dhikr
اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَرَمِ ، وَالتَّرَدِّيْ ، وَالْهَدْمِ ، وَالْغَمِّ ، وَالْحَرِيْقِ ، وَالْغَرَقِ ، وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ أَنْ يَّتَخَبَّطَنِيَ الشَّيْطَانُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَأَنْ أُقْتَلَ فِيْ سَبِيْلِكَ مُدْبِرًا ، وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَمُوْتَ لَدِيْغًا.

Translation

O Allah, I seek Your protection from senility, from death by falling from a height or being crushed to death; from dying of sorrow, being burnt or drowning to death. I seek Your protection from being struck by shayṭān at the time of death and that I am killed. I seek Your protection from dying whilst I am fleeing from the battlefield. I seek Your protection from dying from a venomous sting.
