The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: 'Whoever says when he wakes up: ‘*Hasbiyallahu la ilaha illa huwa, 'alayhi tawakkaltu wa huwa Rabbul 'Arshil 'adheem*' (Allah is sufficient for me. There is no god but He. On Him I have placed my trust, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne), seven times, then Allah will suffice him from whatever worries him, of the matters of this world and the Hereafter.' (Reported by Ibn As-Sunni and graded as Sahih by Al-Albani in Sahih At-Targhib wa At-Tarhib, no. 700). This narration is also found in Sunan Abi Dawud (5081) and Sunan An-Nasa'i (7724), and is consistent with the phrasing in Sahih al-Bukhari 6306, where the phrase 'Hasbiyallahu la ilaha illa huwa; 'alayhi tawakkaltu wa huwa Rabbul 'arshil 'adheem' is mentioned as the supplication of the Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) when he was thrown into the fire, and it was also the statement of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ when the disbelievers said to him: 'Indeed, people have gathered against you, so fear them.' But it only increased them in faith, and they said: 'Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.' (Quran 3:173).
