The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me to say, if calamity befell me: “There is no god but Allah, the Forbearing the Most Generous; glory be to Allah, blessed be Allah, the Lord of the mighty Throne; praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 701)
عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا نَزَلَ بِي كَرْبٌ أَنْ أَقُولَ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ»
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."
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدْعُو عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ: «لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ»
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.)"
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۔»
The Prophet ﷺ used to say at the time of difficulty, 'La ilaha il-lallah Al-ʿAlimul-Halim. La-ilaha illallah Rabul- Arsh-al-Azim, La ilaha-il-lallah Rabus-Samawati Rab-ul-Ard; wa Rab-ul-Arsh Al- Karim.' (See Hadith No. 356 and 357, Vol. 8)
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الأَرْضِ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ
Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say at the time of difficulty, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Majestic, the Most Forbearing. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Lord of the Tremendous Throne. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Lord of the Heavens and the Lord of the Honourable Throne. (See Hadith No. 357, Vol. 8)
أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهِنَّ عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ
" There is no god but Allah, the Great, the Tolerant, there is no god but Allah, the Lord of the Magnificent Throne There is no god but Allah, the Lord of the Heaven and the earth, the Lord of the Edifying Throne."
أَنَّ نَبِيَّ 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
when he was in distress, the Prophet of Allah ﷺ would supplicate: “There is none worthy of worship except Allah, the Forbearing, the Wise, there is none worthy of worship except Allah, the Lord of the Magnificent Throne, there is none worthy of worship except Allah, the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and the Lord of the Noble Throne (Lā ilāha illallāh al-ʿaliyyul ḥalīm, lā ilāha illallāh, rabbul-ʿarshil-ʿaẓīm, lā ilāha illallāh, rabbus-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa rabbul-ʿarshil-karīm).”
أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَدْعُو عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْحَلِيمُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ
“O Allah, grant me health in my body, and grant me health in my sight, and make it the inheritor from me, there is none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Forbearing, the Generous, Glory is to Allah, the Lord of the Magnificent Throne, and all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all that exists (Allāhumma ʿāfinī fī jasadi, wa ʿāfinī fī baṣarī, wajʿalhul-wāritha minnī, lā ilāha illāllah, al-ḥalīmul-karīm, subḥān Allāhi rabbil-ʿarshil-aẓīm, wal-ḥamdulillāhi rabbil-ʿalamīn).”
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي جَسَدِي وَعَافِنِي فِي بَصَرِي وَاجْعَلْهُ الْوَارِثَ مِنِّي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Urge your dying ones to say: “La ilaha illallahul-Halimul-Karim, Subhan-Allahi Rabbil-‘Arshil-‘Azim, Al-Hamdu Lillahi Rabbil-‘alamin (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Forbearing, the Most Kind. Glory is to Allah, Lord of the magnificent Throne; praise is to Allah, the Lord of the worlds).’” They said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, what about those who are alive?’ He said: ‘Even better, even better.’”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَقِّنُوا مَوْتَاكُمْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ لِلأَحْيَاءِ قَالَ أَجْوَدُ وَأَجْوَدُ
“La ilaha illallahul-Halimul-Karim, Subhan-Allahi Rabbil-‘Arshil-‘Azim, Subhan-Allahi Rabbil-samawatis-sab’i wa Rabbil-‘Arshil-Azim (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Forbearing, the Most Generous; glory is to Allah the Lord of the Mighty Throne; glory is to Allah, the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord of the Magnificent Throne).” Waki’ said with each wording La ilaha illallahu (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) is to be included.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ السَّمَوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ قَالَ وَكِيعٌ مَرَّةً لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ فِيهَا كُلِّهَا
The Messenger of Allah ؓ said: ʿShall I not teach you some words which, if you say them you will be forgiven, even though you are already forgiven: There is no god but Allah, Most High, the Almighty; there is no god but Him, the most Forbearing the Most Generous; glory be to Allah, Lord of the Mighty Throne; praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَلا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ إِذَا قُلْتَهُنَّ غُفِرَ لَكَ عَلَى أَنَّهُ مَغْفُورٌ لَكَ؟ (لَا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلا هُوَ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.)»
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me to say, if calamity befell me: “There is no god but Allah, the Forbearing the Most Generous; glory be to Allah, blessed be Allah, the Lord of the mighty Throne; praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.”
عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا نَزَلَ بِي كَرْبٌ أَنْ أَقُولَ (لَا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَتَبَارَكَ اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.)
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: “Shall I not teach you some words that if you say them, you will be forgiven, even though you are already forgiven. There is no god but Allah, the Forbearing, the Most Generous; there is no god but Allah, the Most High, the Almighty, Glory be to Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the mighty Throne, praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds.”
قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ إِذَا قُلْتَهُنَّ غُفِرَ لَكَ مَعَ أَنَّهُ مَغْفُورٌ لَكَ (لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.)»
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me some words and told me to say them if some distress or hardship befell me: ʿThere is no god but Allah, the Most Generous, the Forbearing, glory be to Him, Blessed be Allah, Lord of the mighty Throne and praise be to Allah the lord of the Worlds.
لَقَّنَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَؤُلاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ وَأَمَرَنِي إِنْ نَزَلَ بِي كَرْبٌ أَوْ شِدَّةٌ أَنْ أَقُولَهُنَّ (لَا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ الْكَرِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَبَارَكَ اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.)
" There is no god but Allah, the Great, the Tolerant, there is no god but Allah, the Lord of the Magnificent Throne There is no god but Allah, the Lord of the Heaven and the earth, the Lord of the Edifying Throne." (Using translation from Muslim 2730a)
أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهَذِهِ الدَّعَوَاتِ عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْعَلِيمُ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا حَزَبَهُ أَمْرٌ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الْأَرْضِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ ثُمَّ يَدْعُو
[Machine] When it enters upon you, say: "There is no deity except Allah, the Forbearing, the Generous. Glory be to Allah, Lord of the Great Throne. Praise be to Allah, Lord of all the worlds." And it has been claimed that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he got upset, he would say: "This is what Hammad said." So I thought that he said it, but it did not reach him.
لَهَا إِذَا دَخَلَ بِكِ فَقُولِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَزَعَمَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا حَزَبَهُ أَمْرٌ قَالَ هَذَا قَالَ حَمَّادٌ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَلَمْ يَصِلِ الَيْهَا

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي جَسَدِي وَعَافِنِي فِي بَصَرِي وَاجْعَلْهُ الْوَارِثَ مِنِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ»
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me some words and told me to say them if some distress or hardship befell me: ʿThere is no god but Allah, the Most Generous, the Forbearing, glory be to Him, Blessed be Allah, Lord of the mighty Throne and praise be to Allah the lord of the Worlds. (Using translation from Aḥmad 726)
أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَقَّنَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ وَأَمَرَنِي إِنْ أَصَابَنِي كَرْبٌ أَوْ شِدَّةٌ أَقُولُهُنَّ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ»

قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا عَلِيُّ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ إِذَا قُلْتَهُنَّ غُفِرَ لَكَ مَعَ أَنَّهُ مَغْفُورٌ لَكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ»
[Machine] I heard Ibn Abbas on this pulpit narrating that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say these words during distress: "There is no god but Allah, the Almighty, the Forbearing. There is no god but Allah, the Lord of the mighty throne. There is no god but Allah, the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and the Lord of the mighty throne. Avert from me the evil of so-and-so."
سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ عَلَى هَذَا الْمِنْبَرِ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمُ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي شَرَّ فُلَانٍ»
[Machine] From his father, he said about these words: "There is no god but Allah, the Clement, the Mighty. Glory be to Allah, the Lord of the Noble Throne. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all worlds." He said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say, 'Teach it to your dead.' They asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, how is it for the living?' He said, 'More worthy and more worthy.'"
عَنْ أَبِيهِ فِي هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْعَظِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ» قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَقِّنُوهَا مَوْتَاكُمْ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَكَيْفَ هِي لِلْأَحْيَاءِ؟ قَالَ «أَجْوَدُ وَأَجْوَدُ»
[Machine] For his daughter when Al-Hajjaj entered upon her, when he enters upon you, say "There is no god but Allah, the Exalted, the Great. Glory be to Allah, the Lord of the Noble Throne. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds." And he claimed that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say it when fatigue overcame him, so she said it but he did not hear her.
لِابْنَتِهِ حِينَ دَخَلَ بِهَا عَلَى الْحَجَّاجِ إِذَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْكِ فَقُولِي «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ» وَزَعَمَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُهُ إِذَا نَزَلَ بِهِ الْجَهْدُ فَقَالَتْهُ فَلَمْ يَصِلْ إِلَيْهَا
Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say at the time of difficulty, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Majestic, the Most Forbearing. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Lord of the Tremendous Throne. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Lord of the Heavens and the Lord of the Honourable Throne. (See Hadith No. 357, Vol. 8) (Using translation from Bukhārī 7431)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَدْعُو عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ لَا إِلَهُ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ»
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me to say, if calamity befell me: “There is no god but Allah, the Forbearing the Most Generous; glory be to Allah, blessed be Allah, the Lord of the mighty Throne; praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 701)
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ لَقَّانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ وَأَمَرَنِي إِنْ نَزَلَ بِي كُرْبَةٌ أَوْ شِدَّةٌ أَنْ أَقُولَهَا «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَهُ تَبَارَكَ اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ»
The Prophet ﷺ used to say at the time of difficulty, 'La ilaha il-lallah Al-ʿAlimul-Halim. La-ilaha illallah Rabul- Arsh-al-Azim, La ilaha-il-lallah Rabus-Samawati Rab-ul-Ard; wa Rab-ul-Arsh Al- Karim.' (See Hadith No. 356 and 357, Vol. 8) (Using translation from Bukhārī 7426)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الْأَرْضِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ»
Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say at the time of difficulty, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Majestic, the Most Forbearing. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Lord of the Tremendous Throne. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Lord of the Heavens and the Lord of the Honourable Throne. (See Hadith No. 357, Vol. 8) (Using translation from Bukhārī 7431)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهِنَّ عِنْدَ الْكَرْبُ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me words to say in times of distress when I am afflicted with something. I have learned them to be good and not bad. I have singled you out with them when your affair distresses you: Say, "There is no god but Allah, the Clement and Wise. Glory be to Him, blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds."
عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَلِمَاتٍ أَقُولُهُنَّ عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ إِذَا نَزَلَ بِي مَا عَلَّمْتُهُنَّ حَسَنًا وَلَا حُسَيْنًا خَصَصْتُكَ بِهِنَّ إِذَا كَرَبَكَ أَمْرٌ فَقُلْ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَهُ تَبَارَكَ اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ»
[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ taught them these words to say to the sick person: "There is no god but Allah, the Noble, the Forbearing. Glory be to Allah! Blessed is Allah, the Lord of the Great Throne. And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all worlds."
أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَّمَهُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ يَقُولُهُنَّ عَلَى الْمَرِيضِ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْكَرِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ تَبَارَكَ اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمُ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ»
[Machine] Ali said to me, "I will inform you of words that I have not been informed about, whether they are good or bad. If you ask Allah for something and you want to succeed, say, 'There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner. He is the Most High, the Almighty. There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner. He is the Forbearing, the Generous.'"
قَالَ لِي عَلِيٌّ إِنِّي مُخْبِرُكَ بِكَلِمَاتٍ لَمْ أُخْبِرْ بِهِنَّ حَسَنًا وَلَا حُسَيْنًا إِذَا سَأَلْتَ اللهَ مَسْأَلَةً وَأَنْتَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ تَنْجَحَ فَقُلْ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ»
[Machine] "He said to my son Ja'far, 'Shall I not tell you a statement that I often tell Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn when you ask Allah for any need and you both want it to be fulfilled? Say: "There is no god but Allah, alone without any partners. He is the Forbearing, the Most Generous. There is no god but Allah, alone without any partners. He is the Most High, the Most Great."
أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِابْنِي جَعْفَرٍ أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكُمَا حَدِيثًا مَا أُحَدِّثُهُ الْحَسَنَ وَلَا الْحُسَيْنَ إِذَا سَأَلْتُمَا اللهَ حَاجَةً فَأَرَدْتُمَا أَنْ تَنْجَحَا فَقُولَا «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ»
[Machine] The words of Al-Faraj: "There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, the Most High, the Great. There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, the Forbearing, the Generous. Glory be to Allah, the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord of the Mighty Throne. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds." Khalaf ibn Tamim differed in his chain of narration and in his wording.
كَلِمَاتُ الْفَرَجِ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ السَّمَوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ» [237] خَالَفَهُ خَلَفُ بْنُ تَمِيمٍ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ وَفِي لَفْظِهِ
" There is no god but Allah, the Great, the Tolerant, there is no god but Allah, the Lord of the Magnificent Throne There is no god but Allah, the Lord of the Heaven and the earth, the Lord of the Edifying Throne." (Using translation from Muslim 2730a)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا حَزَبَهُ أَمْرٌ قَالَ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الْأَرْضِ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمُ» ثُمَّ يَدْعُو
Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say at a time of distress, "La ilaha illal-lahu Rabbul-l-'arsh il-'azim, La ilaha illallahu Rabbu-s-samawati wa Rabbu-l-ard, Rabbu-l-'arsh-il-Karim." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6346)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهِنَّ عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الْأَرْضِ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمُ» خَالَفَهُ مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ
"لا إِلَهَ إِلا الله، الحَكِيم (*) الكريم، سُبْحَانَ الله، وَتَبَاركَ الله رَبُّ العَرْشِ الْعَظِيم، والْحَمْدُ لله رَبِّ الْعَالمِينَ".
"أَيُّمَا عَبْد قَال: لَا إِلَهَ إلا اللهُ الكَرِيمُ الحَلِيمُ، سُبْحَانِ اللهِ رَبِّ العَرْشِ العَظِيم، والحَمْدُ لله رَبِّ العَالمِينَ، حَقَّ عَلَى اللهِ تَعَالى أَنْ يُحَرِّمَهُ عَلَى النَّار".
"مَنْ قَال: لا إِلهَ إِلا الله الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ الله رَبِّ السَّمَوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيم ثَلاثَ مَرَّات كانَ مِثْلَ مَنْ أَدْركَ لَيلَةَ الْقَدْرِ".
"مَنْ قَال: "لا إِله إلا الله، الْحَليمُ الْكَرِيم سُبْحَانَ الله رَبِّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَرَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ" ثَلاثَ مَرَّات، كَانَ مثلَ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ لَيلَةَ الْقَدر".
"إِذا خِفْتَ سُلطانًا أو غَيرَهُ، فقُل: لَا إِلَه إلَّا اللهُ الحليمُ الكريمُ، سبْحَانَ اللهِ ربِّ السمواتِ السَّبْع ورَبّ العرشِ العَظيم، لا إلهَ إِلَّا أنْتَ، عز جارُكَ، وَجَل ثنَاؤُكَ".
"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ علمه كَلِمات يَقُولُها عِنْد السُّلطَانِ وَعنْدَ كُلِّ شَيءٍ هَالَهُ وَهِىَ: لاَ إلِهَ إِلاَّ الله الْحَلِيمُ الكَرِيمُ، وسُبْحانَ الله رَبِّ السَّمواتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبِّ الْعَرْش العَظيمِ، والْحَمدُ لله رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ. وَيَقُولُ عِنْدَهُن: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّى أَعوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ عِبَادِكَ ".
"أنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ كَانَ يَدْعُو عِنْدَ الكَرْب بَهَؤُلاَء الكَلِمَات: لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ الله الْعَظِيمُ الحَلِيمُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ الله الحَلِيمُ الكَرِيمُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاّ الله رَبُّ العَرْشِ العَظَيم، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ الله رَبُّ السَّمَواتِ السَّبعْ وَرَبُّ العَرْشِ الكَرِيم".
"عن عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: عَلَّمَنِى رسولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَؤلاءِ الكَلمِاتِ وَأمَرنِى إِنْ نَزَلَ بِى كَرْبٌ أو شِدَّةٌ أنْ أقُولَها: "لاَ إِله إلاَّ اللهُ الحَلِيمُ الكَرِيمُ، سُبحانَ اللهِ، وتَبارك اللهُ ربُّ العَرْشِ العَظيِم والْحَمد للهِ رَبِّ العَالمِينَ".
