This is also a very comprehensive prayer. Allah has blessed man with innumerable gifts. One becomes conscious of them when one is deprived of any of them, hence it is said that the value of a blessing is realized at its loss. For eyes, ears, tongue, health, property, children and such countless blessings, we owe gratitude to Allah. In the prayer cited in this Hadith, one entreats Allah not to deprive of any blessing given to him. 'Afiyah means safe from disease, grief and troubles. "Passing of the safety ('Afiyah)" signifies the change from a state of good health to a state of illness and weakness or that one is overtaken by troubles and afflictions.
