حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ الرِّيَاحِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَمِّ نَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهَذِهِ الدَّعَوَاتِ عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْعَلِيمُ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2297
It was narrated from the cousin of your Prophet (PBUH) meaning Ibn 'Abbas (RA) - that the Prophet of Allah(PBUH) used to recite this supplication at times of distress: "There is no God but Allah, the All- Knowing, the Almighty; there is no God but Allah, Lord of the mighty Throne; there is no God but Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the noble Throne."
