48. Duʿā (Supplications)
٤٨۔ كتاب الدعوات
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
When a matter would worry the Prophet ﷺ, he would raise his head up toward the sky and say: “Glory is to Allah, the Magnificent (Subḥān Allāhil-ʿAẓīm).” And when he would strive in supplication; he would say: “O the Living, O Sustainer (Yā Ḥayyu yā Qayyūm).”
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا أَهَمَّهُ الأَمْرُ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَإِذَا اجْتَهَدَ فِي الدُّعَاءِ قَالَ يَا حَىُّ يَا قَيُّومُ
