IT IS MUSTAḤABB, upon seeing this, to hasten to do dhikr of Allah 
, beg His forgiveness, supplicate to Him and implore Him to fulfil His promise to the believers to assist them and make their religion prevail. One should supplicate with the du‘ā’ of distress cited above: There is no god but Allah, the Great and the Clement. There is no god but Allah, Lord of the Mighty Throne. There is no god but Allah, Lord of the heavens and the earth, Lord of the Noble Throne.

Lā ilāha illa-llāhu-l-‘Aẓīmu-l-Ḥalīm, lā ilāha illa-llāhu Rabbu-l-‘Arshi-l-‘aẓīm, lā ilāha illa-llāhu Rabbu-s-samāwāti wa Rabbu-l-arḍi Rabbu-l-‘Arshi-l-karīm.
It is mustaḥabb to supplicate with du‘ā’s apart from the above, and the da‘awāt which will be narrated in the chapters on fear and destruction. As we have mentioned, when the Messenger of Allah 
saw the Muslims being defeated he dismounted and asked for help and supplicated. The outcome of this was victory; and “You have in the Messenger of Allah an excellent exemplar”. [1].

We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥ of al-Bukhārī that Anas 
narrated: “On the Day of Uḥud, the Muslims were exposed and undefended. My paternal uncle, Anas ibn an-Naḍr, said: ‘O Allah, I apologise for what these people are doing [meaning the Companions] and I absolve myself from what these people [the mushrikūn] are doing.’ Then he went forward and fought until he was martyred. We found him with more than eighty stab wounds from swords, spears and arrows.” [2].
