Is it reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to supplicate during distress with: "There is no god but Allah, the All-Knowing, the Forbearing. There is no god but Allah, Lord of the Magnificent Throne. There is no god but Allah, Lord of the heavens, and Lord of the earth, and Lord of the Noble Throne"? And is the last word "Noble" (al-Karim) and not "Magnificent" (al-Adhim)?

The supplication mentioned is the supplication for distress (Du'a al-Karb). It has been narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with the wording "Lord of the Noble Throne" (Rabb al-Arsh al-Kareem) and "Lord of the Magnificent Throne" (Rabb al-Arsh al-Azhim) at its end. Al-Bukhari, Muslim, and others have narrated various wordings for this supplication, among them: "There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, the Magnificent, the Forbearing. There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, Lord of the Magnificent Throne. There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, Lord of the heavens, and Lord of the earth, and Lord of the Noble Throne."
