This is the best dua to be recited when afflicted by any problem. This dua was recited by Hazrat Younus alaihi salam in the belly of the fish. Allah accepted his prayer.
Sa’ad ibn Waqas (RadhiAllahu Anhu) reported that the Prophet, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said, “The supplication made by the Companion of the Fish (Prophet Yunus) in the belly of the fish was: لا إلهَ إلا أنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظّالِمِيْنَ
‘La ilaha illa anta, subhanaka, inni kuntu minadh-dhalimin’.
(there is no god but You, You are far exalted and above all weaknesses, and I was indeed the wrongdoer)’.
If any Muslim supplicates in these words, his supplication will be accepted.”
In another report we read, “I know words that will cause Allah to remove one’s distress. These are the words (of supplication) of my brother Yunus, peace be upon him.”
[Tirmidhi]
