Sufficient for us is Allah, and…

Dua 3

حَسْبُنَا اللّٰهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيْلُ

Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs.

  1. Sahih al-Bukhari, no. (4563), as-Sunan al-Kubra of an-Nasa'i, no. (10364), at-Tawakkul ala Allah of Ibn Abi ad-Dunya, no. (31).

    Sahih al-Bukhari clearly has that Ibn Abbas (RA) said: “وقالها محمد” ﷺ, “that is, Muhammad ﷺ said these words”. This makes clear that this narration is explicitly marfu', so for some to call it mawquf with reference to Sahih al-Bukhari itself is wrong.

    Note that in Sunan Abi Dawud, no. (3627), Musnad Ahmad (6/24) and others there is another marfu' hadith of the Prophet's saying with the words “حسبي الله ونعم الوكيل”, but in its chain Baqiyyah is a mudallis who does tadlis at-taswiyah, and hearing is not stated clearly all along the chain, so this chain is weak.
