Supplication when stricken with a mishap or overtaken by an affair - Dhikr and Dua Hisn al-Muslim

قَدَرُ اللَّهِ وَمَا شَاءَ فَعَلَ (1).

‘The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah, than the weak believer and there is goodness in both. Strive for that which will benefit you ,seek help from Allah and do not despair. If a mishap should happen to befall you then do not say ‘If only I had acted…such and such would have happened’. Rather, say: Qaddaral-lah, wama shaa faAAal.
‘Allah has decreed and what He wills, He does.’ …for verily ‘If’ lets in the work of the devil.

(1) (المؤمن القوي خير وأحبّ إلى اللَّه من المؤمن الضعيف، وفي كلٍّ خير، احرص على ما ينفعك، واستعن باللَّهِ ولا تعجز، وإن أصابك شيء فلا تقل: لو أني فعلت كان كذا وكذا، ولكن قل قدَرُ اللَّه وما شاء فعل، فإنَّ لو تفتح عمل الشيطان). مسلم، 4/ 2052، برقم 2664.
