Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported: The Prophet of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to say during times of distress: "There is no god but Allah, the Most Great, the Forbearing. There is no god but Allah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne. There is no god but Allah, the Lord of the heavens, the Lord of the earth, and the Lord of the Noble Throne."
Explanation
Benefits
It is recommended to recite this Dhikr (remembrance of Allah) at times of calamity.
The Throne of the Most Compassionate, over which He, Glorified and Exalted, rose, is the highest, largest, and greatest of all creations. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) described it as mighty and noble.
He specifically mentioned the heavens and the earth because they are among the greatest visible creations.
At-Tībi said: He began this praise by mentioning "the Lord" to suit the removal of distress, as it reflects divine care. It includes "Tahlīl" (saying: there is no god but Allah), which encompasses monotheism and is the foundation of all exaltations of majesty, "greatness," which indicates complete power, and "forbearance," which indicates knowledge, as the ignorant one cannot be expected to be forbearing or generous, which are the origin of noble attributes.
