In al-Saheehayn it was reported from Ibn
‘Abbaas that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) used to say, when he felt distressed:
“La ilaaha ill-Allaah al-‘Azeem
ul-Haleem, Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah Rabb il-‘arsh il-‘azeem, Laa
ilaaha ill-Allaah Rabb is-samawaati wa Rabb il-ard wa Rabb
il-‘arsh il-kareem (there is no god except Allaah, the
All-Mighty, the Forbearing; there is no god except Allaah, the
Lord of the Mighty Throne; there is no god except Allaah, Lord of
the heavens, Lord of the earth and Lord of the noble Throne).”
And it was reported from Anas (may Allaah be pleased
with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) used to say, when something upset him:
“Yaa Hayyu yaa Qayyoom, bi
Rahmatika astagheeth (O Ever-Living One, O Everlasting
One, by Your mercy I seek help).”
And it was reported that Asmaa’ bint ‘Umays (may
Allaah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allaah(peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to me: “Shall I not
teach you some words to say when you feel distressed? ‘Allaah,
Allaah, Rabbee laa ushriku bihi shay’an (Allaah, Allaah, my
Lord, I do not associate anything with Him).’”
It was reported from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood that the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “No
person suffers any anxiety or grief, and says:
‘Allaahumma innee ‘abduka wa
ibn ‘abdika wa ibn amatika, naasiyati bi yadika, maadin fiyya
hukmuka, ‘adlun fiyya qadaa’uka, as’aluka bi kulli ismin huwa
laka sammayta bihi nafsaka aw anzaltahu fi kitaabika aw
‘allamtahu ahadan min khalqika aw ista’tharta bihi fi ‘ilm
il-ghaybi ‘andak an taj’ala al-Qur’aana rabee’ qalbi wa noor
sadri wa jalaa’a huzni wa dhahaaba hammi (O Allaah, I
am Your slave, son of Your slave, son of Your female slave, my
forelock is in Your hand, Your command over me is forever
executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every Name
belonging to You which You named Yourself with, or revealed in
Your Book, or You taught to any of Your creation, or You have
preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make
the Qur’aan the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and
a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety)’
- but Allaah will take away his sorrow and grief, and
give him in their stead joy.”

Abu Hurairah reported that whenever the Prophet, peace
be upon him, was faced with a serious difficulty, he would
raise his head to the sky and supplicate, "Subhan-Allah
al-'Azim (glory be to Allah, the Mighty)." And when he implored
seriously and strongly, he would say "Ya Hayyu, Ya Qayyum (O
the Living, the Eternal One)." (Tirmidhi)
Abu Bakrah reported that the Prophet, peace be upon
him, said, "The supplications of distress are,
'Allahumma rahmataka arju, fala takilni
ila nafsi tarfata 'ain, wa aslah li sha'ni kullahu, la ilaha
illa anta (O Allah, I hope for Your mercy, so give
me not over to my self even for as little as wink of an eye,
and set right all my affairs, there is no god but You)." (Abu
Daw'ud)
Sa'd ibn Waqas reported that the Prophet, peace be
upon him, said, "The supplication made by the Companion of the
Fish (Prophet Yunus) in the belly of the fish was,
'La ilaha illa anta, subhanaka, inni
kuntu minaz-zalimin
(there is no god but You, You are far exalted and above all
weaknesses, and I was indeed the wrongdoer)'.
If any Muslim supplicates in these words, his
supplication will be accepted." In another report we read, "I
know words that will cause Allah to remove one's distress.
These are the words (of supplication) of my brother Yunus,
peace be upon him,'' (Tirmidhi)
