Summary
This supplication is narrated by Ibn Hibban from Qutbah bin Malik RA, and it was authenticated by both Ibn Hibban and al-Hakim. In al-Hakim's narration, the word for bad conditions is replaced with bad deeds. It asks for protection from vile character such as vanity, arrogance, envy and injustice, from corrupting desires, and from harmful diseases such as leprosy and vitiligo. Its wording is general, so harmful diseases covers any illness that causes harm.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hadith ini mendorong kita untuk menjauhkan diri daripada akhlak yang keji serta menyeru kita agar beraklak dengan akhlak yang terpuji di samping beramal soleh.
