The answer

The book "Abwab al-Faraj" contains innovative prayers such as the Salat al-Fatih, al-Nariya, and al-Munjiyah. As for the established supplications for relief from distress and sorrow, they include the supplication of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: "O Allah, I am Your slave...", and the supplication of Abu Bakra: "O Allah, I hope for Your mercy...", and the Prophet's saying, peace and blessings be upon him, when in distress: "There is no god but Allah, the Almighty, the Forbearing...", which is considered both a remembrance (dhikr) and a supplication (du'a), either to be used as an opening for a supplication or as a substitute for asking.
