150 / Remembrances for Times of Distress

Numerous hadiths are authentically established in the Sunnah from the Prophet—peace and blessings be upon him—concerning the treatment of distress that may afflict a person. Distress is the hardship and pain one may experience within oneself because of calamities and adversities that strike a person, causing anguish, sorrow, and sleeplessness.

Among the hadiths concerning its treatment is the report narrated by al-Bukhārī and Muslim from Ibn Abbās—may Allah be pleased with them both: “When the Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—was in distress, he would say: ‘There is no deity worthy of worship but Allah, the Magnificent, the Forbearing. There is no deity worthy of worship but Allah, Lord of the Magnificent Throne. There is no deity worthy of worship but Allah, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth, and Lord of the Noble Throne.’”1.

Abū Dāwūd, Ibn Mājah, and others narrated from Asmā bint Umays—may Allah be pleased with her—that she said: The Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—said to me, “Shall I not teach you words to say at a time of distress—or while in distress? ‘Allah, Allah is my Lord; I associate nothing with Him.’” 2.

Abū Dāwūd narrated in his Sunan from Abū Bakrah—may Allah be pleased with him—that the Prophet—peace and blessings be upon him—said: “The supplication of one in distress is: ‘O Allah, it is Your mercy that I hope for. Do not leave me to myself even for the blink of an eye, and set right all my affairs. There is no deity worthy of worship but You.’”3.

Al-Tirmidhī narrated from Sad ibn Abī Waqqās—may Allah be pleased with him—who said: The Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—said: “Jonah’s supplication when he called out from within the belly of the fish was: ‘There is no deity worthy of worship but You. Glory be to You! Indeed, I

١٥٠ / أَذْكَارُ الكَرْبِ لقد ثبت في السُّنَّة أحاديثُ عديدة عن النَّبِيِّ ﷺ في علاج ما قد يصيب الإنسانَ من الكَرْب، وهو الشدَّة والألَم الذي قد يجده الإنسانُ في نفسه بسبب ما يَحلُّ به من مصائب ونوازل، تدهو الإنسان فتغمه وتحزنه وتؤرقه. ومن الأحاديث الواردة في علاج ذلك ما رواه البخاري ومسلم عن ابن عباس ﵄: "أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ الكَرْبِ: لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ العَظِيمُ الحَلِيمُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ رَبُّ العَرْشِ العَظِيمِ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الأَرْضِ وَرَبُّ العَرْشِ الكَرِيمِ"١. وروى أبو داود وابن ماجه وغيرُهما عن أسماء بنت عُمَيس ﵂ قالت قال لي رسول الله ﷺ: "ألاَ أُعَلِّمُكِ كَلِمَاتٍ تَقُولِينَهُنَّ عِنْدَ الكَرْبِ أَوْ فِي الكَرْبِ: اللهُ اللهُ رَبِّي، لاَ أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئاً" ٢. وروى أبو داود في سننه عن أبي بكرة ﵁، عن النَّبِيّ ﷺ أنَّه قال: "دَعَوَاتُ المَكْرُوبِ: اللَّهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُو، فَلاَ تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ"٣. وروى الترمذي عن سعد بن أبي وقاص ﵁ قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: "دَعْوَةُ ذِي النُّونِ إِذْ دَعَا وَهُوَ فِي بَطْنِ الحُوتِ: لاَ إله إِلاَّ أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي
