[Machine] The prophet ﷺ taught him words to say when he experienced distress. He would supplicate with the following words: "There is no god but Allah, the Clement and Noble. Glorified is Allah, the Lord of the Great Throne. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all worlds." This is incorrect and Ibn Thawban is weak and does not have the authority to support it. The correct hadith is the hadith of Ya'qub.  

الكبرى للنسائي:١٠٣٩٣ – أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ ابْنِ ثَوْبَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحَرِّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَجْلَانَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَهْلِهِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَلَّمَهُ كَلِمَاتٍ إِذَا نَزَلَ بِهِ كَرْبٌ دَعَا بِهِنَّ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ» هَذَا خَطَأٌ وابْنُ ثَوْبَانَ ضَعِيفٌ لَا يَقُومُ بِمِثْلِهِ حُجَّةٌ وَالصَّوَابُ حَدِيثُ يَعْقُوبَ

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.”  

أحمد:٧٠١ – حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَدَّادِ بْنِ الْهَادِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَ

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.)
