اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الْهَمِّ وَالْحُزْنِ وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ , وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْجُبْنِ وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ ,وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ

Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-hammi wal-Huzni wal-'ajazi wal-kasli wal-bukhli wal-jubni wa dala'id-dayni waghalabatir-rijal.

[O Allaah, I take refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, weakness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, the burden of debts and from being over powered by men]
[Sahih Al-Bukhari, 7/158]

Sayyiduna Anas bin Maalik (radiyallahu'anhu) reports that it was the noble practice of our beloved Rasulullah (sallallahu 'Alaihi wasallam) after every Fardh Salah to place his right hand on his forehead (and in some narrations: on his head) and recite the following supplication:

بِسْمِ اللهِ الذِيْ لا إلٰهَ إِلا هُوَ الرحْمٰنُ الرحِيم ، اللهُم أَذْهِبْ عَني الْهَم وَالحُزْن

Bismillahillazhy laa ilaaha illa huwa-Rahmaanu-Raheem. Allahumma Azh-hib 'annil-hamma wal-huzn.

Translation: In the name of Allah, besides whom there is none worthy of worship, The most Gracious, The most Merciful.

O Allah ! remove from me worry and depression.

This narration is suitable for practice and has been recorded by the following authorities: Imams:Ibn-Sunni (r.a.), pg.101 (Hadith #112), Al-Tabarani (r.a.) (Al-Mu'jamul-Awsat Hadith #2520 and Kitabu-Du'aa, pg.210 Hadith #659; Majma'uz-zawaid, vol.10, pg.110) Khateeb Al-Baghdadi (r.a.) (Tareekh-Baghdad, vol.12 pg.480-481), Abu Nu'aim (r.a.)
