اللَّهُمَّ جَنِّبْنِي مُنْكَرَاتِ الأَخْلاَقِ وَ الأَعْمَالِ وَالأَهْوَاءِ و الأدْوَاءِ

أَخْرَجَهُ الترمذي و صححه الحاكم و اللفظ له

Evil Manners: it is despised characteristics, like stinginess, arrogance, envy, hatred and things towards that. Evil Desires: it is what the soul desires and inclines towards. As for Evil Actions: then it is major sins, and persistent on minor sins. As for Diseases: then it is illnesses, and it could be for the body like sicknesses horrible sicknesses from leprosy, cancer and pleurisy, and it could be illnesses of the hearts  with desires like sins and with doubts such as innovations.
