Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned:
“True success is that Allāh does not leave you to your own devices.”
The Prophet taught
us to say at difficult times:
“O Allāh, I only
hope for Your Mercy. Do not leave me to my own devices for the blinking of an
eye…” Abū Dawūd
اللَّهُمَّ
رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُو فَلا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَأَصْلِح لِي
شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ.
Written by Hassan Somali -Allah preserve him-

Invocation for anguish
اللَّهُمَّ
رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُو فَلا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَأَصْلِح لِي
شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ. -١٢٣
Allaahumma rahmataka ‘arjoo falaa takilnee ‘ilaa
nafsee tarfata ‘aynin, wa ‘aslih lee sha’nee kullahu, laa’ilaaha ‘illaa ‘Anta.
(O Allāh, I hope for Your mercy. Do not leave to myself even for the
blinking of an eye (i.e. a moment). Correct all of my affairs for me. There is
none worthy of worship but You.)[1]
