What are the forty occasions on which "لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله" is said, and what are the ninety-nine ailments for which it is a remedy?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
Scholars have not stated that "there is no might nor power except with Allah" is to be recited in forty instances. A weak was narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah, reported by Al-Tabarani, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: " 'There is no might nor power except with Allah' is a remedy for ninety-nine ailments, the least of which is anxiety." No one has specified the names of these ailments, nor would there be much benefit in knowing them even if the hadith were authentic.
