What is the ruling on sending a post that contains "There is no god but You; glory be to You, indeed I have been of the wrongdoers," and is this ذكر (remembrance) to be recited at all times, or only during distress?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The supplication mentioned, "There is no god but You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers," is authentic and established from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. It encompasses monotheism, exaltation, and seeking forgiveness. It is permissible to adopt it as a regular litany without specifying a particular number or manner that was not reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, lest it become an innovation. It is permissible to say it at any time, due to the general command for remembrance. It is not restricted to times of distress, though it is not known if the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, recited it constantly, and his encouragement of it is sufficient.
