Virtues & Benefits
This statement was first uttered by Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) when he was cast into the fire, and it was responded to by Allah by making the fire cool and safe for him. It was also recited by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ when the people said, 'Indeed, the 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.' (Sahih al-Bukhari 4563). Reciting this embodies Tawakkul (trust in Allah) and brings peace to the heart, acknowledging that no harm can reach us except by Allah's decree, and He is the most capable protector.
