The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) sought refuge from several things, which are:

First: (O Allah, I seek refuge), shelter, and protection (with You) not with anyone else (from the dominance of debt), its subjugation, grief, and distress, and I ask You for support to repay and settle it.

Second: (The dominance of the enemy), his subjugation and overpowering, and I ask You to ward off his harm and grant me victory over him.

Third: (And the gloat of the enemies) and their rejoicing at what befalls Muslims of misfortunes and calamities.

Man has to avoid things that bring him gloat and criticism.
Pointing out the disbelievers' hostility towards the believers and how they rejoice at their misfortunes.
The enemies' expression of their delight at one's misfortune is harder for him than the misfortune itself.
