What is the explanation of the supplication: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from leading astray or being led astray, from slipping or being made to slip, from oppressing or being oppressed, and from acting ignorantly or being treated ignorantly," and is there any repetition in it?
The aforementioned , narrated by the four Sunan compilers from Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), states that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) left his house, he would say: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from going astray or being led astray, from slipping or being made to slip, from oppressing or being oppressed, and from acting ignorantly or being treated ignorantly." This Hadith does not contain repetition. Each active voice formulation signifies the action emanating from the speaker himself, while the passive voice formulation signifies the action befalling the speaker from someone else. Thus, the supplication encompasses going astray and being led astray, slipping and being made to slip, oppressing and being oppressed, and acting ignorantly or being treated ignorantly. It is a comprehensive supplication seeking refuge from evils related to both religion and worldly matters.
