Question

What is the reference of this du’a?

اللهم إني أعوذ بك من القلة، والفقر، والذلة، وأعوذ بك أن أظلم أو أظلم

 

Answer

Imam Nasai (rahimahullah) has recorded this version of the du’a.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reported that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) [would supplicate] saying:

اللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْقِلَّةِ، وَالْفَقْرِ، وَالذِّلَّةِ، وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَظْلِمَ أَوْ أُظْلَمَ

Transliteration: Allahumma inni a’udhu bika minal qillati wal faqri wad dhillati wa a’udhu bika an azlima aw uzlama

Translation: O Allah! I seek Your refuge against insufficiency, poverty, humiliation and I seek refuge in You from oppressing anyone or being oppressed

(Sunan Nasai; Al Mujtaba, Hadith: 5462)

Imam Abu Dawud (rahimahullah) and other Muhaddithun have recorded the du’a with slight variation in the wording. See here

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
