Al-Hasīb (The Ever-Reckoner)
Ja‘far al-Sādiq (may Allah have mercy upon him) said:“I wonder how a person may ever be fearful and not flee to the verse that says:
{Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.}
[Surat ĀI - ‘ Imrān: 173]
I heard Allah say thereafter:
{So they returned with favor from Allah and bounty, no harm having touched them.}
[Surat Ᾱ l - ‘Imrān: 174]
And I wonder how a person may be distressed and not flee to the verse that says:
{There is no god but You; Glorified are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.}
[Surat al - Anbiyā’: 87]
I heard Allah say thereafter:
{So We responded to him and saved him from the distress. And thus do We save the believers.}
[Surat al - Anbiyā’: 88]
And I wonder how a person may be subject to a cunning plot and not flee to the verse that says
:{And I entrust my affair to Allah. Indeed, Allah is All-Seeing of [His] slaves.}
[Surat Ghāfir: 44]
as I heard Allah say thereafter:
{So Allah protected him from the evils they plotted.}
[Surat Ghāfir: 45]

If you become helpless and find no way and no hope, having lost all the means, then say: Allah is Sufficient for me, and He is the best Disposer of affairs!
If life becomes tough and stressful for you and you fall into distress, then call out: Allah is Sufficient for me, and He is the best Disposer of affairs! Soon Allah’s support, help, and relief will come to you!
{So they returned with favor from Allah and bounty, no harm having touched them.}
[Surat Ᾱ l - ‘Imrān: 174]

{Surely Allah has been Ever - Reckoner over everything.}
