Arabic hadith text
وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا كَرَبَهُ أَمْرٌ يَقُولُ: «يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ وَلَيْسَ بِمَحْفُوظٍ
Translation
Anas reported that whenever something distressed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he would say: “O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, by Your mercy I seek help.” Al-Tirmidhi reported it and said, “This is a gharīb hadith, and it is not preserved.” The hadith was not studied by al-Albani.
