The Prophet (SAW) is said to have frequently recited this dua Allahumma Inni a Uzu Bika Minal Hammi Wal Huzni, and many of the Companions have heard him do so, according to Saheeh Bukhari and several ahadith.

Meaning Of Allahumma Inni A Udhu Bika Minal Hammi Wal Hazan

Al-Hamm (anxiety): Hamm literally means ‘to make uneasy and anxious.

Distress of this nature affects a person’s mind, heart, and body.

A person is bothered by this sadness and is primarily concerned with it.

Anxiety leaves one concerned with one’s ideas, thinking them over again in one’s head since it is worry one feels for something that may or may not happen.

If you’ve ever felt sadness, anxiety, or uneasiness, you understand how crippling it can be.

Huzn (sorrow) also signifies sadness, although it is not the same as Hamm.

Huzn is grief that develops after a traumatic event, such as a loved one’s death or a challenging situation.

The Seerah refers to the year Abu Talib and Khadija (radi Allahu anha) passed away as “Aam al Huzn, the Year of Sorrow.”

The Qur’an makes several references to believers not experiencing “Yahzanoon,” or grief, in the future.

The faithful will thus not be saddened by anything that has transpired in the past.

Huzn is expected to be filled with regret, sorrow, and melancholy.

• Ajaz means ‘to become weak, to lack strength, to be incompetent, and to be a failure.
• Kasl means to be lazy, idle, slow, negligent, and inert.
• Al-Bukhl means to be stingy and greedy.

In the Qur’an, Allah uses this term to describe those who have money to give but hoard it rather than contribute it to charity.

Bukhl refers to refusing to provide something lawful that you have plenty of (such as time, charity, etc.).

A good object, like wealth, is seldom used well because of this tendency to prefer it for oneself.

This term has the exact opposite meaning from the word Karam, which means to be and give freely.

One of Allah’s titles is Al-Kareem, which translates to “The Most Generous,” implying that he gives liberally from his inexhaustible wealth without demanding anything in return.

Jubn literally means “to shrink,” and this is where the concept of becoming timid and scared originates.
Its two linguistic roots are curvature and weight, and it is the word for the rib (a body portion) in Arabic.

Hence, “dala’a ad-dayn” can either allude to the burden of debt or the propensity for debt to draw people away from righteousness.

Ghalabah means ‘to be dominated, subdued, or overtaken.

Allahumma inni a’udhu bika minal-hammi, wal-hazani, wal-‘ajzi, wal-kasali, wal-bukhli, wal-jubni, wa ghalabatar-rijal (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from worry, grief, incapacity, laziness, miserliness, cowardice and being overpowered by (other) men.)”. Sunan an-Nasa’i 5449

Benefits Of Allahumma Inni A Udhu Bika Minal Hammi Wal Hazan

It’s acceptable to feel these things. Being worried or depressed does not make you any less of a believer. Believer is patient and asks Allah for assistance, which is what sets them apart from unbelievers.

You never know if a tragedy is the product of your own wrongdoings, therefore if you’re confronting one, you should confess your crimes.

One of the Salaf said,

I defy Allah in order to see how it affects how my wife and my animal treat me.

“Sins overpower the hearts till no good can get through to them,” Ibn Zayd stated.

Always, the believer is in a win-win situation.

The messenger of Allah SAW said,

The believer's relationship is incredible! His entire existence is advantageous, but only in the case of the believer. He benefits from being grateful when wonderful things happen to him, and he benefits from being patient when bad things happen to him. [Muslim]

Allah cleanses you as a result of these emotions or painful experiences.

The Prophet (may peace be upon him ) said,

A Muslim never experiences tiredness, illness, grief, sadness, injury, or anguish; even if it were only a thorn prick, Allah would still atone for part of his sins for that. [Bukhari]

We should perform this dua Allahumma Inni a Uzu Bika Minal Hammi Wal Huzni and work on ourselves to get rid of the traits mentioned in this supplication because they all seem to point to weakness.

Don’t use the word “if” when something awful occurs to you or when you do something you later regret.
Ask Allah for assistance and keep going.

The Prophet (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said,

Don't give up and ask Allah for assistance. If something bad happens to you, don't say, "If only I had done that, then that wouldn't have occurred," but rather, "Allah accomplished what He had decreed, and your 'if' opens the (gate) for Shaytan." [Muslim]
