Dhikr at times of distress
لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
La ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu mina-z-zalimin
There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.
Plain text (no diacritics)
لا إله إلا أنت سبحانك إني كنت من الظالمين
Virtue: The supplication of Yunus — no distressed person says it but Allah relieves him.
When is it said?
This dhikr has no fixed time: it is said by night and by day, while walking or waiting or doing anything that does not occupy the heart. The Prophet ﷺ would remember Allah at all his times.
The number attached to it is a deliberate sunnah rather than an approximation. Exceeding it is no sin, and falling short of it forfeits part of what was promised — but keeping steadily to a little is more beloved than a great deal that stops.
Where it comes in the litany
Dhikr number 9 of 20 in Tasbih & Dhikr — read in the order they are said.
