The answer

The supplication mentioned: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, and I seek refuge in You from inability and laziness, and I seek refuge in You from cowardice and miserliness, and I seek refuge in You from being overwhelmed by debt and the subduing of men" is one of the morning and evening remembrances (adhkar). Abu Dawud narrated that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, taught this supplication to Abu Umamah when he saw him anxious and burdened with debts, and promised him that Allah would relieve his anxiety and settle his debt if he recited it morning and evening. An-Nawawi mentioned it in his book "Al-Adhkar," and Al-Arna'ut authenticated it.
