allahumma inni a`udhu bika mina al`adilati `inda almawti
O Allah, I seek Your protection against deviation at the hour of death.





Deviation at the hour of death stands for shifting from the right to the wrong at the hour of death. To explain, Satan attends at the hour of death in order to deceive the moribund and suggest evil to him in order to make him doubt about his religion. If Satan succeeds, he will pull out faith from the heart of the dying person. To avoid that, many supplications have comprised statements of seeking Almighty Allah’s protection against deviation at death. Fakhr al-Muhaqqiqin says, “To escape deviation at the hour of death, one should bethink the proofs of creed in which he believes, as well as the five principles of the religion with all of their irrefutable evidences, with absolute sincerity and purity and should then trust them with Almighty Allah beseeching Him for giving them back at the hour of dying. This can be done by saying the following prayer:
اللَّهُمَّ يَا ارْحَمَ ٱلرَّاحِمِينَ
allahumma ya arhama alrrahimina
O Allah, O most Merciful of all those who show mercy,

إِنِّي اوْدَعْتُكَ يَقِينِي هٰذَا وَثَبَاتَ دِينِي
inni qad awda`tuka yaqini hadha wa thabata dini
I am depositing with You this faith of mine and my firmness on this belief;

وَانتَ خَيْرُ مُسْتَوْدَعٍ
wa anta khayru mustawda`in
and You are the ever-best of all those who keep deposits.

وَقَدْ امَرْتَنَا بِحِفْظِ ٱلْوَدَائِعِ
wa qad amartana bihifzi alwada'i`i
You have commanded us to keep safe deposits that are put with us;

فَرُدَّهُ عَلَيَّ وَقْتَ حُضُورِ مَوْتِي
faruddahu `alayya waqta huduri mawti
so, (please) keep for me this deposit to give it back to me at the time of my death
