اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ يَوْمِ السُّوءِ وَمِنْ لَيْلَةِ السُّوءِ وَمِنْ سَاعَةِ السُّوءِ وَمِنْ صَاحِبِ السُّوءِ وَمِنْ جَارِ السُّوءِ فِي دَارِ الْمُقَامَةِ

Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min yawmis-su'i wa min laylatil-su'i wa min sa'atil-su'i wa min sahibis-su'i wa min jaril-su'i fi daril-muqamah

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from a bad day, a bad night, a bad hour, a bad companion, and a bad neighbor in a permanent residence.

HasanAt-Tabarani in Al-Kabir, Al-Hakim 1/532

Five dimensions of "bad" — time (day, night, hour) and people (companion, neighbor). The du'a covers temporal misfortune at every scale: a bad day (career disaster), a bad night (sleepless anxiety), a bad hour (a single moment that changes everything). Then social misfortune: a bad companion (who leads you astray) and a bad permanent neighbor (who makes your home life miserable).
