عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: كَانَ مِنْ دُعَاءِ رَسُولِ اللّهِ صَلّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ، وَفُجَاءَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ، وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ» رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ.
Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) reported that among the supplications of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the decline of Your favor, the change of the well-being You have granted, the suddenness of Your punishment, and all forms of Your displeasure." Reported by Muslim.
