The Prophet ﷺ used to say at times of distress:

lā ilāha illā allāhu al-ʿaẓīmu al-ḥalīm, lā ilāha illā allāhu rabbu al-ʿarshi al-ʿaẓīm, lā ilāha illā allāhu rabbu al-samāwāti, wa-rabbu al-arḍi, wa-rabbu al-ʿarshi al-karīm

(There is no god but Allah, the All-Knowing, the Forbearing. There is no god but Allah, Lord of the Mighty Throne. There is no god but Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, Lord of the Noble Throne.)"

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

“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 to me: ‘Should I not teach you some words that if you say them, Allah will forgive you, even if you were already forgiven?’ He said: ‘Say: None has the right to be worshipped by Allah, the Most High, the Magnificent. None has the right to be worshipped by Allah, the Forbearing, the Generous. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah. Glory to Allah, the Lord of the Magnificent Throne. (Lā ilāha illallāhul-ʿaliyul-ʿaẓīm, lā ilāha illallāhul-ḥalīmul-karīm, lā ilāha illallāh, subḥān Allāhi rabbil-ʿarshil-ʿaẓīm.)’”

لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَلاَ أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ إِذَا قُلْتَهُنَّ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ مَغْفُورًا لَكَ قَالَ قُلْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ وَأَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي آخِرِهَا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ

“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 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.)

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.)»

[AI] 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

" 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 يَقُولُ عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلااللهُ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ رَبُّ 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." (Using translation from Muslim 2730a)

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

" 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 يَقُولُ عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الْأَرْضِ ورَبُّ 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." (Using translation from Muslim 2730a)

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ لَاإِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ قَالَ يَزِيدُ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ 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." (Using translation from Muslim 2730a)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ 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)

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»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me these words to say when I am afflicted with hardship or distress: "There is no god but Allah, the Forbearing, the Honorable, Glorified and Exalted is He. Blessed is Allah, the Lord of the Great Throne, and all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all worlds." Abdullah bin Ja'far used to teach this to a dead person and blow it on the afflicted area. Bukhari and Muslim have narrated this hadith in a summarized form from Qatadah, from Abu Al-'Aliyah, from Ibn Abbas.

لَقَّنَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ إِذَا نَزَلَ بِي شِدَّةٌ أَوْ كَرْبٌ أَنْ أَقُولَهُنَّ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى تَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ» قَالَ «فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ يُلَقِّنُهَا الْمَيِّتَ وَيَنْفُثُ بِهَا عَلَى الْمَوْعُوكِ» قَدْ أَخْرَجَ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَمُسْلِمٌ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مُخْتَصَرًا مِنْ حَدِيثِ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ

“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).” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3480)

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 ؓ 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.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 1363)

قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا عَلِيُّ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ إِنْ قُلْتَهُنَّ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ عَلَى أَنَّهُ مَغْفُورٌ لَكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ وَالْحَمْدُ 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»

Teach me the words which I should (often) utter. He said: Utter," There is no god but Allah, the One, having no partner with Him. Allah is the Greatest of the great and all praise is due to Him. Hallowed be Allah, the Lord of the worlds, there is no Might and Power but that of Allah, the All-Powerful and the Wise." He (that desert Arab) said: These all (glorify) my Lord. But what about me? Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: You should say:" O Allah, grant me pardon, have mercy upon me, direct me to righteousness and provide me sustenance." Musa (one of the narrators) said: I think he also said:" Grant me safety." But I cannot say for certain whether he said this or not. Ibn Abi Shaiba has not made a mention of the words of Musa in his narration. (Using translation from Muslim 2696)

جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلِّمْنِي كَلَامًا أَقُولُهُ قَالَ «قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيرًا وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيرًا وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ» قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ لِرَبِّي فَمَا لِي؟ قَالَ «قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي»

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.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 712)

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»

قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا عَلِيُّ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ إِذَا قُلْتَهُنَّ غُفِرَ لَكَ مَعَ أَنَّكَ مَغْفُورٌ لَكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ رَوَى أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ إِلَّا حَدِيثَيْنِ هَذَا أَحَدُهُمَا وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ نُصَيْرُ بْنُ أَبِي الْأَشْعَثِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا نَزَلَ بِهِ أَمْرٌ قَالَ لا إِلَهَ إلاَّ اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْعَظِيمُ لا إِلَهَ إلاَّ الله رب السَّماوَات وَالأَرْضِ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمُ ثُمَّ يَدْعُو

[AI] 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»

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»

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.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 1363)

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ إِذَا قُلْتَهُنَّ غُفِرَ لَكَ عَلَى أَنَّهُ مَغْفُورٌ لَكَ؟ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ الْحَمْدُ 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.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 712)

قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ 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 السَّمَوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ الْحَمْدُ 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.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 712)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ إِذَا قُلْتَهُنَّ غُفِرَ لَكَ مَعَ أَنَّهُ مَغْفُورٌ لَكَ؟ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ السَّمَوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ الْحَمْدُ 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.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 712)

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ «أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ إِذَا أَنْتَ قُلْتَهُنَّ غُفِرَ لَكَ مَعَ أَنَّهُ مَغْفُورٌ لَكَ؟» تَقُولُ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَرَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ الْحَمْدُ 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.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 712)

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ إِذَا قُلْتَهُنَّ غُفِرَ لَكَ عَلَى أَنَّهُ مَغْفُورٌ لَكَ؟ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ»

[AI] 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»

[AI] He said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me these words and commanded me that if a calamity or difficulty befalls me, I should say: "There is no god but Allah, the Generous, the Forbearing. Glory be to Him, blessed be Allah, the Lord of the mighty Throne. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all worlds." So, Abdullah ibn Ja'far used to teach these words to the deceased and blow them onto the face of the sick person, and he would teach them to his scattered daughters.

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَقَّانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ وَأَمَرَنِي إِنْ نَزَلَ بِي كَرْبٌ أَوْ شِدَّةٌ أَنْ أَقُولَهَا «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْكَرِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ سُبْحَانَهُ تَبَارَكَ اللهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ» فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ يُلَقِّنُهَا الْمَيِّتَ وَيَنْفُثُ بِهَا عَلَى الْمَوْعُوكِ وَيُعَلِّمُهَا الْمُغْتَرِبَةَ مِنْ بَنَاتِهِ

[AI] 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»

[AI] 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.

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

[AI] 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»

[AI] 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

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.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 712)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ إِنْ أَنْتَ قُلْتَهُنَّ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ عَلَى أَنَّهُ مَغْفُورٌ لَكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ» خَالَفَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ صَالِحٍ وَيُوسُفُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "Shall I not teach you words that, if you say them, you will be forgiven, even if it was decreed for you to be forgiven? They are: La Ilaha Illa Allah, Al-Halim, Al-Kareem, La Ilaha Illa Allah, Al-Aliyyu Al-Azheem, Subhan Allah, Rabbil Aalameen, Subhan Allah, Rabbi As-Samawati As-Sabi'i Wa Rabbil Arshil-Azheem, Alhamdulillah, Rabbil Aalameen."

قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ 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 السَّمَوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ»

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Shall I not teach you a supplication that if you say it, Allah will forgive you even if you were previously forgiven?" I said, "Certainly." He said, "There is no god but Allah, the Most High, the Great. There is no god but Allah, the Forbearing, the Generous. There is no god but Allah, Glory be to Allah, the Lord of the Great Throne."

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ دُعَاءً إِذَا دَعَوْتَ بِهِ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ مَغْفُورًا لَكَ؟» قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ»

[AI] The words "There is no god but Allah, the Clement, the Merciful. Glory be to Allah, the Lord of the Great Throne. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all worlds. O Allah, forgive me. O Allah, have mercy on me. O Allah, overlook my faults. O Allah, pardon me" were taught to me by my uncle, Abdullah bin Ja'far, who informed me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught him these words.

شَأْنِ هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي اللهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي اللهُمَّ تَجَاوَزْ عَنِّي اللهُمَّ اعْفُ عَنِّي» قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمِّي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَّمَهُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ

[AI] Say: "There is no god but Allah, the Forbearing, the Generous. Glory be to Allah, Lord of the great Throne. O Allah, forgive me. O Allah, have mercy on me. O Allah, overlook my faults. O Allah, pardon me for you are the most forgiving, most merciful." Then he said: "My blind relatives taught me these words and mentioned that the Prophet ﷺ taught them to him."

قُلْ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي اللهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي اللهُمَّ تَجَاوَزْ عَنِّي اللهُمَّ اعْفُ عَنِّي فَإِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ غَفُورٌ» ثُمَّ قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ عَلَّمَنِيهِنَّ عَمِّي وَذَكَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَلَّمَهُنَّ إِيَّاهُ

[AI] When she enters upon you, say, "There is no god but Allah, the Forbearing, the Noble. Glory be to Allah, Lord of the Great Throne. Praise be to Allah, Lord of all the worlds." And he claimed that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was afflicted with something, he would say this.

لَهَا إِذَا دَخَلَ بِكِ فَقُولِي «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ» وَزَعَمَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا حَزَبَهُ أَمْرٌ قَالَ هَذَا

there is no god but Allah alone Who has no partner, to whom dominion belongs, to whom praise is due, and who has power over everything (omnipotent). Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and then he prays: O my Lord, forgive me. Abu Dawud said : Al-Walid’s version has; and he prays, his prayer will be answered. If he gets up, performs ablution, and prays, his prayer will be accepted. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5060)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ تَعَارَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي إِلَّا غَفَرَ لَهُ فَإِنْ قَامَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى تُقُبِّلَتْ صَلَاتُهُ
