Reference
Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi 3591
Hazrat Qutbah bin Malik رضي الله عنه narrated that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to recite this supplication. Imam al-Tirmidhi recorded it as Hasan Gharib, while later scholars including Al-Albani authenticated the narration.
The explanation of the Hadith specifically mentions blameworthy character such as malice, envy and arrogance, and evil actions such as insulting and cursing—qualities that can contribute to arguments and disputes.
Note: There is not a specific authentic Prophetic Dua worded exactly as “Dua for Protection From Arguments and Disputes.” This title is a topical description; the Dua above is an authentic Prophetic supplication that is highly relevant to seeking protection from the bad character and actions that can cause disputes.
