The answer

It is reported in books of narrations and exegesis that the Prophet of Allah, Yusuf (peace be upon him), supplicated to Allah with a prayer taught to him by Jibril (peace be upon him) when he was thrown into the well. Its text is: "O Allah, O Comforter of every stranger, O Companion of every lonely one, O Refuge of every fearful one, O Remover of every distress, O Knower of every secret counsel, O Ultimate End of every complaint, O Present One in every assembly.. O Ever-Living, O Self-Subsisting, I ask You to cast Your hope into my heart, so that I have no concern or preoccupation other than You, and to make for me ease and a way out from my affair. Indeed, You are over all things competent."
