3882. It was narrated that Asmā' bint 'Umais said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ taught me some words to say at times of distress: Allāh! Allāhu Rabbi lā ushriku bihi shay'an (Allāh, Allāh is my Lord, I do not associate anything with Him)." (Hasan)
3882 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي هِلَالٌ، مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ أَسْمَاءَ ابْنَةِ عُمَيْسٍ قَالَتْ: عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَلِمَاتٍ أَقُولُهُنَّ عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ: «اللَّهُ، اللَّهُ رَبِّي لَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا»

Saying these words at the time of grief means that 'I hope, by the mercy of Allāh that He will dispel my sorrows.' Most of the time, the sin of setting partners with Allāh is committed at the time of distress. People seek help from saints and pious people to save them from distress and worries. They believe that such dead people fulfill their requests after receiving their votives. On the other hand, the reality of monotheism also manifests during such hard conditions, while a true believer turns away from all creatures and discloses his problems and calamities to Allāh alone, seeking His help and support.
