The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a specific place for this supplication, which is
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]
?

The Shaykh:
What is it?

The questioner:
Is there a specific place for this supplication? Is it recited for a specific thing?

The Shaykh:
There is no specific place for this supplication. It is a response to the hypocrites who slandered the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the alms and were not pleased with what was given to them, just as other believers were given.
If only they had been satisfied with what Allah and His Messenger gave them and said, "Sufficient for us is Allahوَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ رَضُوا مَا آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَقَالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ
[At-Tawbah 9:59]
. It means that our sufficiency and our provision are with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Our provision is not this thing that we are given from the war spoils or from the alms; if we are not given from them, then Allah is sufficient for us, and Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) will give us. Yes.
