As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa-raḥmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Imām Bukhārī (#6369), Imām Abū Dawūd (#1541), Imām Nasaʾī (#5450) رحمهم الله have all narrated this comprehensive duʿāʾ:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ، وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ، وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ، وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ
“Oh Allāh! I seek your protection from worry, grief, weakness, laziness, cowardice, stinginess, the pain of debt, and being overpowered by men.”
والله تعالى أعلم وعلمه أتم وبه التوفيق
And Allāh Taʿālā Knows Best
