In addition to those four angles that shaytan promised to attack us from, we also ask Allah to protect us from the remaining two angles, which are from above us and from beneath us• We ask Allah for wellbeing in this life and the next, therefore this encompasses all states we will be in• The request to be saved from beneath us is a stronger request, as those who are attacked from beneath them are usually those punished by Allah e | We also ask Him to save us from anguish such that all our fears and worries depart from us and we live a peaceful life• I seek refuge in Your Greatness from being struck from beneath me |

Wellbeing in our wealth is to protect it from being lost or stolen, and to be saved from spending it in a way that displeases Allah• | To be recited once Brief Commentary• The whole supplication is encompassed within the first few words as it is all encompassed within asking Allah for pardon and wellbeing, however, we repeat this request and detail our requirements further so that we show insistence in our request, and this is something that Allah loves• Wellbeing in our religion means to be saved from committing sins or having incorrect beliefs, and ensuring our tawheed of Allah is complete• O Allah, guard me from what is in front of me and behind me, from my left, and from my right, and from above me |
To try and cement our request, we repeat it again, clarifying that we want it in particular for our religion, our life, our family, and wealth• O Allah, conceal my faults and preserve me from anguish.
27We also repeat and expand on this request so that we actually ponder over what we want and therefore request it from our heart• Wellbeing in our family means that we are all saved from trials and evil, including to be saved from having problems with each other• For the final part of the hadith, we ask Allah to protect us from all angles | |
