The du‘ā of Yūnus, refuge from anxiety and sorrow, the du‘ā of distress, and the Qur’ān’s verses on patience and ease, each with its source.

When worry, a calamity or grief is heavy, the Qur’ān and the narrations give words to say. This page gathers the du‘ās the Sabīl library files under distress and grief, and the verses of the Qur’ān that speak of hardship, patience and ease. Each du‘ā is shown with its Arabic, a transliteration, its meaning and the source and grade the library gives; the narrations they come from are listed by number at the end. Under some verses the page also shows the notes of that edition; they are the edition’s words, not this page’s, and this page has not checked them. For your own circumstances, ask a scholar; and if the weight is more than words can carry, speak to someone near you, too.
What the Qur’ān says of hardship
The Qur’ān says plainly that people will be tested with something of fear and famine, and loss of property, lives and fruits, and it describes the patient as those who, when a calamity strikes them, say that they belong to Allah and will return to Him. Of them it says that blessings and mercy from their Lord are upon them.
Waɗanda suka yi ĩmãni kuma zukãtansu sukan natsu da ambaton Allah. To, da ambaton Allah[1] zukãta suke natsuwa.
[1] Ambaton Allah, shĩ ne bin hukunce-hukuncensa ga kõme. Umar ɗan Khattãb ya ce: "Mafificin ambaton Allah, shi ne wanda aka yi a wurin umurninsa ko haninsa. Wanda yake yin zikirin bãki ba da yanã aiki da hukunce-hukuncen Allah ba a cikin ibãdarsa da mu'amalarsa, to, shi mai izgili kawai ne da sũnan Ubangijinsa, ba mai yin zikiri ba ne.".

The call of Yūnus, and refuge from anxiety and sorrow
The first card of the Du‘ā Compilation headed “Distress & grief” holds two du‘ās. The first is the call of Yūnus from the darkness, from Qur’ān 21:87: a declaration that there is no god but Allah, a glorification of Him, and an admission of wrong. Its source line quotes at-Tirmidhī’s narration that no Muslim supplicates with it for anything but that Allah answers him, with the grade ṣaḥīḥ.
The second asks for refuge from eight things, in pairs: anxiety and sorrow, incapacity and idleness, cowardice and miserliness, the burden of debt and being overpowered by men. The library cites it to al-Bukhārī with the grade ṣaḥīḥ.
Daftarin fassara: na’ura ce ta yi shi daga Larabci da Turanci, kuma malami ko edita ɗan harshen bai karanta shi ba tukuna. Inda wani layi bai fito fili ba, ku nuna Turancin, ku kuma dogara da Larabcin.
Layukan da suka shafi hukunci ana nuna su koyaushe tare da Turancin bugu a ƙasansu. Layin da daftarinsa bai wuce bincike ba ana nuna shi da Turanci kaɗai.
The verse of Yūnus’s call, and the verse after it, which says that Allah answered him and rescued him from distress, and that this is how He rescues the believers:
Kuma mai kifi[1] a sã'ad da ya tafi yanã mai hushi, sai ya yi zaton cẽwa ba zã Mu ƙuƙunta masa ba. Sai ya yi kira a cikin duffai cẽwa, "Bãbu abĩn bautãwa fãce Kai. Tsarki ya tabbata a gare Ka. Lalle ne nĩ, na kasance daga azzãlumai."
[1] Shĩ ne Yũnus bn Matta. Yãyi hushi da mutãnensa dõmin ba su karɓi addini ba, sai ya bar su tun a gabãnin a yi masa iznin barinsu. Sai Allah Ya jarrabe shi da fãɗãwã cikin ruwa har wani kĩfi ya haɗiye Shi, sa'an nan kuma ya amãyo Shi a bãyan wahala, ya kõma wa mutãnensa. Suka yĩ ĩmãni.

Sai Muka karɓa masa kuma Muka tsĩrar da shi daga baƙin ciki. Kamar haka ne Muke tsĩrarda masu ĩmãni.

Asking for all your affairs to be set right
The second card under the same heading has one du‘ā, calling on Allah as the Ever-Living and the Sustainer, asking for relief by His mercy, for all one’s affairs to be set right, and not to be left to oneself for the blink of an eye. The library cites it to an-Nasā’ī in ‘Amal al-Yawm wal-Laylah with the grade ḥasan.
Daftarin fassara: na’ura ce ta yi shi daga Larabci da Turanci, kuma malami ko edita ɗan harshen bai karanta shi ba tukuna. Inda wani layi bai fito fili ba, ku nuna Turancin, ku kuma dogara da Larabcin.
Layukan da suka shafi hukunci ana nuna su koyaushe tare da Turancin bugu a ƙasansu. Layin da daftarinsa bai wuce bincike ba ana nuna shi da Turanci kaɗai.
Ya Rayayye, Ya Tsayayye da komai, da rahamarKa nake neman agaji. Ka gyara mini dukan al’amurana, kada Ka bar ni ga kaina ko da gwargwadon ƙiftawar ido.
Turancin bugu, ana nuna shi koyaushe:
O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, by Your mercy I seek relief. Set right all my affairs, and do not entrust me to myself for the blink of an eye.
Nasa’i a cikin ‘Amal al-Yawm wal-Laylah · hasan
Lura
Idan baƙin ciki ya ƙwace muku kalmomi, waɗannan su ne za su zama kalmomin. Idan ba ku haddace su ba, ku karanta su — karatu ma addu’a ne.
Beneath it the card has a note of the library’s own: when grief takes a person’s words away, these become the words, and someone who has not memorised them can read them, since reading is also supplication.
At any calamity
The Pocket Companion has a card headed “Distress & anxiety”. It begins with a du‘ā it labels “At any calamity”, which praises Allah as the Mighty, the Forbearing, Lord of the Mighty Throne and of the heavens and the earth. Its source line calls it the du‘ā of distress and cites al-Bukhārī and Muslim with the grade ṣaḥīḥ.
Daftarin fassara: na’ura ce ta yi shi daga Larabci da Turanci, kuma malami ko edita ɗan harshen bai karanta shi ba tukuna. Inda wani layi bai fito fili ba, ku nuna Turancin, ku kuma dogara da Larabcin.
Layukan da suka shafi hukunci ana nuna su koyaushe tare da Turancin bugu a ƙasansu. Layin da daftarinsa bai wuce bincike ba ana nuna shi da Turanci kaɗai.
The card then gives the two du‘ās of the first card above again. The du‘ā of Yūnus is in the same Arabic, its meaning in slightly different words. In the refuge du‘ā the Pocket Companion has miserliness and cowardice the other way round from the Du‘ā Compilation, and gives the meaning as a short list. The library cites both wordings to al-Bukhārī, and this page does not choose between them.
When the grief is for someone who has died
The Pocket Companion has a card headed “Grief & death”, in four parts: what is said on hearing of a death, a du‘ā for the one who has died, words for consoling the bereaved, and the greeting at a grave. The library’s own checking has not yet settled questions about one of its texts, the du‘ā for the one who has died: how the whole of it is to be printed, and how it is rendered. So the card is not quoted here. To read it as the library has it, open the Pocket Companion’s “Grief & death” card. The words said at a calamity in 2:156, above, are the Qur’ān’s own.
