How authentic is the Hadith that mentions the supplication of Yunus (peace be upon him) as beginning with tahlil (declaration of God's oneness), having tasbih (glorification of God) in the middle, and ending with an admission of sin ("There is no god but You; glory be to You! Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers"), and that whoever supplicates with it three times daily while distressed, grieved, afflicted, or in debt will have his prayer answered?
The virtue of the supplication of Yunus (peace be upon him), "There is no god but You; glory be to You! Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers," is great. It has been authentically reported in a hadith that no Muslim supplicates with it to his Lord for anything except that He responds to him. As for the narration mentioned, it was reported by Al-Daylami in Musnad Al-Firdaws, which is likely to contain weak narrations.
