اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ جَارِ السُّوْءِ ، وَمِنْ زَوْجٍ تُشَيِّبُنِيْ قَبْلَ المَشِيْبِ ، وَمِنْ وَّلَدٍ يَّكُوْنُ عَليَّ رَبًّا ، وَمِنْ مَّالٍ يَّكُوْنُ عَلَيَّ عَذَابًا ، وَمِنْ خَلِيْلٍ مَّاكِرٍ عَيْنُهُ تَرَانِيْ ، وَقَلْبُهُ يَرْعَانِيْ ، إِنْ رَأَىٰ حَسَنَةً دَفَنَهَا ، وَإِذَا رَأَىٰ سَيِّئَةً أَذَاعَهَا.

English translation

“O Allah, I seek Your protection from an evil neighbour; from a spouse who will age me ahead of time; from a child who will rule over me; from wealth that will become a punishment for me; from a cunning friend whose eyes see me yet his heart keeps guard over me: if he sees any good, he conceals it and if he sees any bad, he announces it.”

Virtue & benefit: Abū Hurayrah (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrates that [the above] was from the supplication of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. (Tabarānī in al-Du’ā 1339)
