Dua after the final Tashahhud and before ending the Prayer

O Allah, I seek Your protection from miserliness, I seek Your protection from cowardice, and I seek Your protection from being returned to feeble old age.
I seek Your protection from the trials of this world and from the torment of the grave.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْبُخْلِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْجُبْنِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ أُرَدَّ إِلَى أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ
Allaahumma ‘innee ‘a’oothu bika minal-bukhli, wa ‘a’oothu bika minal-jubni, wa ‘a’oothu bika min ‘an ‘uradda ‘ilaa ‘arthalil-‘umuri, wa ‘a’oothu bika min fitnatid-dunyaa wa ‘athaabil-qabr

Al-Bukhari, cf. Al-Asqalani, Fathul-Bari 6/35.

Ruling on hanging Quranic verses of the Holy Book on Walls

Hanging Quranic Verses? Allowed or not? when visiting Muslims, I noticed that several of them put verses of the Holy book on the walls or photos with the names God & prophet. I know a lot of Muslims assume that it’s good to do so as a result of it’ll protect them and their house. Personally, I consider it a form of shirk or superstition. Is there any ruling on that subject? Praise be to God. Hanging clothes & plaques containing ayah of the Holy book in houses, social clubs etc involves a variety of prohibitions & reservations per Islam, like the following: (1) In most cases, hanging quranic verses on the wall is done for purposes of adornment & decoration, as the aayaah etc. are written in colorful brocade & calligraphy.
