A morning supplication recorded in the Abu Dawud 5095 tradition.
Bismillahi tawakkaltu 'alallahi wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah
In the name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah, and there is no power and no strength except with Allah.
Source: Abu Dawud 5095 (Sahih); also Tirmidhi 3426. Sunan Abi Dawud is one of the six canonical hadith collections; most of its supplication narrations are authentic or hasan.
Recite this after Fajr prayer, before sunrise, as part of the morning adhkar. Once the sun is up, the window for the morning remembrance has passed — so make it the first thing you settle into after your obligatory prayer.
Sunan Abi Dawud is one of the six canonical hadith collections (Kutub al-Sittah). Imam Abu Dawud as-Sijistani (d. 275 AH) focused on legal and devotional hadith. Most narrations are sound; he noted weak ones explicitly when included. The morning and evening adhkar are a body of Prophetic supplications meant to be recited at the day's two transitions. They function as a daily spiritual perimeter — gratitude at the start, refuge from harm, and a renewal of intention.
