Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ الْجُهَنِيُّ عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا قَالَ عَبْدٌ قَطُّ إِذَا أَصَابَهُ هَمٌّ وَحَزَنٌ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ وَابْنُ عَبْدِكَ وَابْنُ أَمَتِكَ نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ أ
َوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَوْ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي وَنُورَ صَدْرِي وَجِلَاءَ حُزْنِي وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي إِلَّا أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هَمَّهُ وَأَبْدَلَهُ مَكَانَ حُزْنِهِ فَرَحًا قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نَتَعَلَّمَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ قَالَ أَجَلْ يَنْبَغِي لِمَنْ سَمِعَهُنَّ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمَهُنَّ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) — via Yazid, from Fudayl ibn Marzuq, from Abu Salama al-Juhani, from al-Qasim ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, from his father — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'No servant ever says — when afflicted by distress and grief: 'O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your female servant; my forelock is in Your hand; Your ruling over me is in effect; Your judgment concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that is Yours — by which You have named Yourself, or which You revealed in Your Book, or which You taught to any of Your creation, or which You have reserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You — to make the Quran the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the remover of my sorrow, and the relief of my anxiety' — except that Allah (عز وجل) removes his anxiety and replaces his sorrow with joy.' They said: O Messenger of Allah, should we not learn these words? He said: 'Certainly — it is fitting for everyone who hears them to learn them.'
