As-Salamu ‘Alaikum

This is another MAGNIFICENT DUA for protection from calamities:

عَنْ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ “‏ مَنْ رَأَى صَاحِبَ بَلاَءٍ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَافَانِي مِمَّا ابْتَلاَكَ بِهِ وَفَضَّلَنِي عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ تَفْضِيلاً إِلاَّ عُوفِيَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْبَلاَءِ كَائِنًا مَا كَانَ مَا عَاشَ ‏”‏

Translation of meaning; It is reported on the authority of ‘Omar [radzi Allahu ‘anhu] that RasulAllah ﷺ said: Whoever sees an afflicted person and says, “All praise is due to Allah, The One who safeguarded me from that which He afflicted you by, and chose me over many of His creation” he will be protected from that affliction for the rest of his life.
