Remember Allah in distress

What It Means: Reading in Context

Ibn Abbas reports words the Prophet used at times of trouble. This excerpt is the opening declaration of a longer supplication that continues by affirming Allah’s lordship over the Throne, heaven and earth. The source’s translation “the Tolerant” is retained without substituting a different rendering. This entry comes from Sahih Muslim 2730a. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
