The answer

The aforementioned was narrated by Al-Tabarani, and it states that the Companions complained to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, about the scorching heat (al-ramdha), so he commanded them to frequently say "Lā hawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh" (There is no might or power except with Allah), because it wards off ninety-nine types of harm. Al-Busiri mentioned that its chain of narration has a weakness, and that one of its narrators is unknown, rendering the report denounced (munkar), even though Ibn Hibban mentioned him among the trustworthy narrators. The rest of the chain are trustworthy narrators, but the Hadith has a weak chain of narration.
