What is the authenticity of the hadith: (O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no deity but You, upon You I have relied, and You are the Lord of the Mighty Throne. What Allah wills comes to be, and what He does not will does not come to be. There is no power and no strength except by Allah, the Most High, the Mighty. I know that Allah is capable of all things, and that Allah has encompassed all things with knowledge...)

The questioner : If you would be so kind, we would like to ask you about the text of a hadith and its degree of authenticity.

The Shaykh: Go ahead.

The questioner : May Allah increase your virtue. Imam al-Nawawi says in his book "Al-Adhkar" that the text of the hadith, my master, is
O Allah! Thou art my Lord; there is no god but Thee اللهمَّ أنت ربي لا إله إلا أنت عليك توكَّلت
Sunan Abi Dawud 5070Sahih (Al-Albani)
Yes.

The Shaykh : And then?

The questioner :
upon You I have relied عليك توكَّلت
.

The Shaykh : Fine, on what occasion is this hadith mentioned?

The questioner : It is mentioned, my master, that the Companion Abu al-Darda' narrated that whoever says this in the evening or in the morning, his family, his house, and his wealth are protected from any evil. It is not commented upon in any way; it is authentic. Imam al-Nawawi means without any commentary. We will repeat the text for you, my master.

The Shaykh : Is that the end of the text, or does it have a continuation?

The questioner : No, it is not finished.

The Shaykh : Yes, complete the text.

The questioner
O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no deity but You, upon You I have relied, and You are the Lord of the Mighty Throne. What Allah wills comes to be, and what He does not will does not come to be. There is no power and no strength except by Allah, the Most High, the Mighty. I know that Allah is capable of all things, and that Allah has encompassed all things with knowledge. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of my own self, and from the evil of every creature whose forelock You grasp. Indeed, my Lord is on a straight path اللهم أنت ربي ، لا إلا أنت ، عليك توكَّلت وأنت ربُّ العرش العظيم ، ما شاء الله كان ، وما لم يشَأْ لم يكُنْ ، لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله العلي العظيم ، أعلم أن الله على كل شيء قدير ، وأن الله قد أحاط بكل شيء علمًا ، اللهم إني أعوذ بك من شرِّ نفسي ، ومن شرِّ كلِّ دابَّةٍ أنت آخذ بناصيتها ، إن ربي على صراط مستقيم
That is where the text ends.

The Shaykh : To whom did he attribute it?

The questioner : He attributed it to Ibn al-Sunay in the book of Ibn al-Sunay, from Talq ibn Habib, who said: A man came to Abu al-Darda'.

The Shaykh : By Allah, the answer does not come to my mind right now. If you wish, call me tomorrow.

The questioner : At this time, if Allah wills?

The Shaykh : If Allah wills.

The questioner : My master, may Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : But give me the name of the beginning of the hadith.
