Hadith on Relief: Prayer of Yunus to relieve worldly distress

Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas reported: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said, “Shall I not tell you of something by which a man among you can supplicate to relieve the hardships or trials of the world when they descend?” They said, “Of course!” The Prophet said, “It is the prayer of Jonah, Dhul Nun: There is no God but You, glory be to You for I have certainly been among the wrongdoers.” (21:87)

عَنْ سَعْدٍ بن أبي وقاص قَالَ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ إِذَا نَزَلَ بِرَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ كَرْبٌ أَوْ بَلَاءٌ مِنَ بَلَاءِ الدُّنْيَا دَعَا بِهِ فُرِّجَ عَنْهُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ بَلَى قَالَ دُعَاءُ ذِي النُّونِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
