Refuge from Enemy / Harm / Danger / Authority
From the permissible invocations to be said in this regard also is حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الوَكِيلُ “Hasbunallaahu wa ni’amal-wakeel” [Allah (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us)].
It was reported in Sahih Al Bukhari on the authority of Abdullah ibnAbbas رضي الله عنه who said: “Hasbuna Allahu Wa Niama Al Wakil” was said by Abraham when he was thrown into fire; and it was said by Muhammad ﷺ when they (i.e. hypocrites) said: A great army is gathering against you, therefore, fear them, but it only increased their faith and they said: Allah is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer (of affairs, for us). [Surat Ali `Imran: 173].” [Sahih Al Bukhari, No. 4563]
