The duʿāʾ of Prophet Daniel that saved him from the lions

Bukhtanassar (Nebuchadnezzer) brought Prophet Dāniyāl (Daniel, peace be upon him) and ordered him to be imprisoned and cast into a den with two lions. He was left there for five days, after which the den was opened. To his astonishment, Daniel was found praying, and the two lions had not harmed him. Bukhtanassar asked him, "Tell me, what did you say? How were you saved?"

˹Dāniyāl˺ replied, "I said, 'Praise be to Allah, who does not forget those who remember Him. Praise be to Allah, who does not disappoint those who have hope in Him. Praise be to Allah, the One to whom those who place their trust never turn in vain. Praise be to Allah, who is our refuge when all other means fail. Praise be to Allah, our hope when our deeds disappoint us. Praise be to Allah, who relieves our distress in times of difficulty. Praise be to Allah, who rewards excellence with excellence. Praise be to Allah, who rewards patience with salvation.'"  

أُتِىَ بُخْتُنصرُ بِدَانْيَالَ النَّبِيّ - عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ - فَأَمرَ بِه فَحُبِسَ وَضَرَّىَ أَسَدَيْنِ فَأَلْقَاهُمَا فِى جُبٍّ مَعَهُ وَطَيَّنَ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلى الأَسَدَيْنِ خَمْسَةَ أَيَّامٍ، ثُمَّ فَتَحَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْدَ خَمْسَةِ أَيَّامٍ فَوَجَدَ دَانْيَالَ يُصَلِّى، وَالأَسَدَانِ فِى نَاحيَةِ الْجُبِّ لَمْ يَعْرِضَا لَهُ، قَالَ بُخْتنَصرُ: أَخْبِرْنِى مَاذَا قُلتَ؟ فَدَفَعَ عَنْكَ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: الْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِى لاَ يَنْسَى مَنْ ذَكَرَهُ، الْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِى لاَ يَخَيِّبُ مَنْ رَجَاهُ، الْحَمْدُ لله الَّذى لاَ يَكِلُ مَنْ تَوَكَّلَ عَلَيْهِ إِلَى غيرِهِ، الْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِى هُوَ ثقَتُنَا حِينَ تَنْقطِعُ عَنَّا الْحيَلُ، الْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذى هُوَ رَجَاؤُنا يَوْمَ تَسُوءُ ظُنُونُنَا بِأَعْمَالِنَا، الْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِى يَكْشِفُ ضُرَّنَا عِنْدَ كَرْبِنَا، الْحَمدُ للهِ الَّذِى يَجْزِى بِالإِحْسَانِ إِحْسَانًا، الْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِى يَجْزِى بِالصَّبْرِ نَجَاةً
