When fearing people
×1اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَجْعَلُكَ فِي نُحُورِهِمْ وَنَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شُرُورِهِمْ
Allah, we make You our shield against them and seek refuge in You from their evil.
The Prophet ﷺ used to say this when he feared a people (Abu Musa).
For when you fear people, or are wronged.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَجْعَلُكَ فِي نُحُورِهِمْ وَنَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شُرُورِهِمْ
Allah, we make You our shield against them and seek refuge in You from their evil.
The Prophet ﷺ used to say this when he feared a people (Abu Musa).
اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِيهِمْ بِمَا شِئْتَ
Allah, suffice me against them in whatever way You will.
These are the words of the believing boy in the story of the king that the Prophet ﷺ told (Suhayb); they are not the Prophet's own du'a.
ٱلَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا۟ لَكُمْ فَٱخْشَوْهُمْ فَزَادَهُمْ إِيمَـٰنًا وَقَالُوا۟ حَسْبُنَا ٱللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ ٱلْوَكِيلُ
Those to whom people [i.e., hypocrites] said, "Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them." But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said, "Sufficient for us is Allāh, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs."[150]
Ibn Abbas said: Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said this when he was thrown into the fire, and Muhammad ﷺ said it when people told them that others had gathered against them (Bukhari 4563).
