(1741) bukhari:6346Musaddad > Yaḥyá > Hishām b. Abū ʿAbdullāh > Qatādah > Abū al-ʿĀliyah > Ibn ʿAbbās

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say at a time of distress:

lā ilāha illā allāh al-ʿaẓīm al-ḥalīm, lā ilāha illā allāh rabb al-ʿarsh al-ʿaẓīm, lā ilāha illā allāh rabb al-samawāti wa-rabb 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 Generous Throne.)

Wahb said: Shuʿbah narrated similarly from Qatādah

(١٧٤١) 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
