It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to supplicate at the time of distress: «لا إله إلا الله العظيم الحليم، لا إله إلا الله رب العرش العظيم، لا إله إلا الله رب السماوات ورب الأرض ورب العرش الكريم [وفي الطريق الأخرى: العظيم] ، اللهم اصرف شره» “There is no deity except Allah, the Most Great, the Most Forbearing. There is no deity except Allah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne. There is no deity except Allah, the Lord of the heavens and the earth and the Lord of the Noble Throne (and in one narration: the Great). O Allah! Turn away its evil.”
