This report is not found to be authentic in the books of Sunnah. However, it is authentically reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that there are comprehensive and beneficial supplications for repelling distress and sorrow, among them:

- "O Allah, I am Your slave, the son of Your male slave, and the son of Your female slave. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is forever executed, and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You which You named Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book, or taught to any of Your creation, or preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Great Qur’an the springtime of my heart, the light of my chest, the dispeller of my sadness, and the remover of my anxiety."

- "There is no god but Allah, the All-Mighty, the Forbearing. There is no god but Allah, Lord of the heavens and the earth, and Lord of the Magnificent Throne."

- The supplication of Dhul-Nun: "There is no god except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers."
