Seeking refuge before salam

In the final sitting of salah, after the tashahhud and salawat.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ وَمِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ

Allāhumma innī a'ūdhu bika min 'adhābi jahannama wa min 'adhābil-qabri wa min fitnatil-maḥyā wal-mamāti wa min sharri fitnatil-masīḥid-dajjāl

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of Hell, from the punishment of the grave, from the trials of life and death, and from the evil of the trial of the False Messiah.
