It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbās that the Prophet ﷺ used to say at times of distress: "Lā ilāha illallāhul-Halimul-Karim, Subhān-Allāhi Rabbi-l'Arshil-'Azim, Subhān-Allāhi Rabbi-samawātis-sab'i wa Rabbi-l'Arshil-'Azim (None has the right to be worshiped but Allāh, the Forbearing, the Most Generous; glory is to Allāh the Lord of the Mighty Throne; glory is to Allāh, the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord of the Magnificent Throne)." (Sahih) Waki' said with each wording Lā ilāha illallāhu (none has the right to be worshiped but Allāh) is to be included.

3883 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، صَاحِبِ الدَّسْتُوَائِيِّ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ: «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ السَّمَوَاتِ السَّبْعِ، وَرَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ» قَالَ وَكِيعٌ مَرَّةً: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فِيهَا كُلِّهَا
