Ibn Al-Sunni and Al-Daylami narrated from Ali, in a Marfu' tradition: "If you fall into a predicament, say: 'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahil Aliyyil Azeem (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, and there is no might nor power except with Allah, the Most High, the Most Great).' For indeed, Allah Almighty averts thereby whatever He wills of types of affliction." Sheikh Al-Albani ruled this to be fabricated (Mawdu').
