Virtues & Benefits
This supplication is a profound expression of Tawakkul (trust in Allah). The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that whoever recites this seven times in the morning and evening, Allah will suffice him from all worldly worries and needs. It brings immense peace of mind, as it shifts the burden of managing difficult situations from our own limited capacity to the infinite power and wisdom of the Creator. For relationship challenges, it helps cultivate patience, forgiveness, and the ability to respond with kindness rather than frustration, seeking Allah's intervention for reconciliation and understanding.

Narrated by Abdullah bin Khubaib (may Allah be pleased with him): We went out during a rainy and very dark night, searching for the Prophet ﷺ to teach us something to say. We found him and he said: 'Say: "<arabic>قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا أَغْنَى عَنِّي مَا عَلَّمْتَنِي اللَّيْلَةَ؟</arabic>" He said: 'Hold on to it and recite it three times in the morning and three times in the evening.' He then mentioned another phrase, which I could not recall. Another narrator said: 'Say: "<arabic>حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ</arabic>"' (Allah is sufficient for me. There is no god but Him. On Him I have placed my trust, and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.) Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "<arabic>يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ، أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَةً مِنْ كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟</arabic>" (O Abdullah bin Qais, shall I not teach you a word which is one of the treasures of Paradise?) I said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Say: "<arabic>لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ</arabic>"' (There is no might nor power except with Allah)."
