Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say when he was in distress: "La ilaha illallahul-Azimul-Halim. La ilaha illallahu Rabbul-'Arshil-'Azim. La ilaha illallahu Rabbus-samawati, wa Rabbul-ardi, wa Rabbul-'Arshil- Karim. (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah the Incomparably Great, the Compassionate. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah the Rubb of the Mighty Throne. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah the Rubb of the heavens, the Rubb of the earth, and the Rubb of the Honourable Throne)." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.

وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يقول عند الكرب‏:‏ ‏

‏لا إله إلا الله العظيم الحليم، لا إله إلا الله رب العرش العظيم، لا إله إلا الله رب السماوات ورب الأرض ورب العرش الكريم‏

‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br> 1) It is recommended to say this prophetic invocation in times of hardship and distress.<br> 2) It is obligatory to establish Tawhid in our hearts and lives, as it is what saves us from all evil. The more one magnifies the status of Tawhid in his heart, the more perfect and certain Allah’s protection for him is. {Those who believe and do not mix their faith with falsehood are the ones who will be secure, and it is they who are rightly guided.}
