The دعاء of Distress
عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يقول عند الكرب :
" لا إله إلا الله العظيم الحليم ، لا إله إلا الله رب العرش العظيم ، لا إله إلا الله رب السموات ورب الأرض ورب العرش الكريم"
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to say at times of distress:
“Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah al-‘Atheem al-Haleem, laa ilaaha ill-Allaah Rabb al-‘Arsh al-‘Atheem, la ilaaha ill-Allaah Rabb ul-samawaati wa Rabb ul-ard wa Rabb ul-‘Arsh il-kareem
(There is no god but Allaah, the All-Powerful, the Forbearing; there is no god but Allaah, Lord of the mighty Throne; there is no god but Allaah, Lord of heaven, Lord of earth, and Lord of the noble Throne).”
[Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6345; Muslim, 2730.]
لا اله الا الله is repeated thrice, to remind yourself of Tawheed. No one can help you except Allah. No one can relieve you except Allah. No one can owns the dominion of the heavens and the earth except Allah.
If a thought comes to you saying "Ask so-and-so" remind yourself of لا اله الا الله and His Perfect Attributes.
The Prophet ﷺ ended the first sentence with العظيم الحليم because it may be because you committed a sin. Allah wants you to repent and ask forgiveness for the sin, He does not want you to decrease in ranks with Him. Whatever happened to you is from Allah.
"رب العرش العظيم"
The Throne is the greatest creation of Allah. The seven heavens and the earths are like a ring thrown in a desert in comparison to the Kursi, and the Kursi is like a ring thrown in a desert in comparison to the Throne of Allah.
لا إله إلا الله رب السموات ورب الأرض ورب العرش الكريم"
Allah controls these great creation, do you think that He cannot control your affairs? He runs the affairs of the heavens and earth, Is He not able to remove your distress from you?
