It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'When anyone of you is wronged, and he has no one to help him, let him say: Allahumma rudd 'alayya haqqi, wa aslih li qada'i (O Allah, restore my right, and set for me my judgment aright). Then if it is Allah Who has granted him his right, he will get it, and if it is Satan who has caused it, then it will be from Satan.' (Grade: Sahih)
