736. Dua for Safety from Hunger and Betrayal
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say:
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْجُوْعِ فَإِنَّهُ بِئْسَ الضَّجِيْعُ وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْخِيَانَةِ فَإِنَّهَا بِئْسَتِ الْبِطَانَةُ
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْجُوْعِ فَاِنَّهٗ بِئْسَ الضَّجِيْعُ وَاَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْخِيَانَةِ فَاِنَّهَا بِئْسَتِ الْبِطَانَةُ
Allaahumma inni a‛oodhu bika minal-joo‛i, fa-’innahu bi-’saddajee‛u, wa a‛oodhu bika minal-khiyaanati, fa-innahaa bi’satil-bitaanah
Translation
O Allah, I seek refuge with You from hunger, for it is the worst bedfellow. And I seek refuge in You from treachery, for it is the worst of associates.
