Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is this verse suitable to be used as a supplication that we recite in times of worry, sadness, and distress? Allah the Exalted said:
Sufficient for us is Allah; Allah will give us of His bounty, and [so will] His Messengerحَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ سَيُؤْتِينَا اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ وَرَسُولُهُ
[At-Tawbah 9:59]
.

Answer:
It is not a supplication, my brother. This question has become frequent because of one thing he said. This is not a supplication; it is a report about the hypocrites.
(58) And among them are some who criticize you concerning the [distribution of] charities. If they are given from them, they approve; but if they are not given from them, at once they become angry. (59) If only they had been satisfied with what Allah and His Messenger gave them and said, "Sufficient for us is Allah; Allah will give us of His bounty, and [so will] His Messenger; indeed, we are desirous toward Allah," [it would have been better for them].وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَلْمِزُكَ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ فَإِنْ أُعْطُوا مِنْهَا رَضُوا وَإِن لَّمْ يُعْطَوْا مِنْهَا إِذَا هُمْ يَسْخَطُونَ وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ رَضُوا مَا آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ
[At-Tawbah 9:58-59]
From His bounty, and if they had been pleased with what
what Allah and His Messenger gave them and said, "Sufficient for us is Allah; Allah will give us of His bounty, and [so will] His Messenger; indeed, we are desirous toward Allah,"آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَقَالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ سَيُؤْتِينَا اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ وَرَسُولُهُ إِنَّا إِلَى اللَّهِ رَاغِبُونَ
[At-Tawbah 9:59]
This is a report about the hypocrites, and it is a supplication.
