Al-Adab Al-Mufrad
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 670
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَتَعَوَّذُ مِنَ الْخَمْسِ: مِنَ الْكَسَلِ، وَالْبُخْلِ، وَسُوءِ الْكِبَرِ، وَفِتْنَةِ الصَّدْرِ، وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ.
‘Ubayd Allah related to us, from Isra’il, from Abu Ishaq, from ‘Amr ibn Maymun, from ‘Umar, who said: The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to seek refuge from five things: laziness, miserliness, the evil of old age, the trial of the heart, and the punishment of the grave.
Translation notes
وَسُوءِ الْكِبَرِ
In this phrase الكِبَر refers to old age; “pride” is a different sense and does not fit the context of the list.
Should “bad pride” be corrected to “the evil of old age”?
