Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allāh have mercy on him, said: “Whoever has abundant worries and sorrows should frequently say:
لا حـــــــول ولا قــــــوة إلا بـــــــالله
‘There is no power nor strength except with Allāh.’” [Zād Al-Ma‘ad, 4/183]
Shaykh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allāh have mercy on him, said in Majmū‘ Al-Fatāwā (13/321): “The phrase:
لا حـــــــول ولا قــــــوة إلا بـــــــالله
‘There is no power nor strength except with Allāh’ brings about divine assistance. For this reason, the Prophet ﷺ prescribed it. When the mu’adhdhin says, ‘Come to prayer,’ the respondent says,
لا حـــــــول ولا قــــــوة إلا بـــــــالله
‘There is no power nor strength except with Allāh,’ and when he says, ‘Come to success,’ the respondent again says,
لا حـــــــول ولا قــــــوة إلا بـــــــالله
‘There is no power nor strength except with Allāh.’”
