bukhari:6345Muslim b. Ibrāhīm > Hishām > Qatādah > Abū al-ʿĀliyah > Ibn ʿAbbās

The Prophet ﷺ used to invoke Allah at the time of distress, saying, "There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Allah, the Most Great, the Most Forbearing. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Allah, the Lord of the skies and the Earth,˹and˺ the Lord of the Magnificent Throne."  

البخاري:٦٣٤٥حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ قَالَ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدْعُو عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ: «لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ»  

Duʿāʾ invoking Allah by the majesty of His Throne during hardship

bukhari:6346Musaddad > Yaḥyá > Hishām b. Abū ʿAbdullāh > Qatādah > Abū al-ʿĀliyah > Ibn ʿAbbās

Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say at a time of distress, "lā ilāha illā allāhu al-ʿaẓīm al-ḥalīm, lā ilāha illā allāhu rab al-ʿarsh al-ʿaẓīm, lā ilāha illā allāhu rabbu al-samawāti wa-rabbu al-arḍi wa-rabb al-ʿarsh al-karīm. (There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Allah, the Most Great, the Most Forbearing; There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Allah, the Lord of the Magnificent Throne; There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Allah, the Lord of the Earth and the Lord of the Nobile and Generous Throne.)"  

Wahb said: Shuʿbah narrated similarly from Qatādah
البخاري:٦٣٤٦حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ: «لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الأَرْضِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ۔»  

وَقَالَ وَهْبٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ مِثْلَهُ
