Hasbunallah Wani Mal Wakeel in Hadith
According to the hadith in Sahih Bukhari, it shows that this dua was sufficient for Prophet Ibrahim (may peace be upon him). It was narrated by Ibn ‘Abbas who said:
When (Prophet) Ibrahim (Abraham) was thrown into the fire, he said: “Allah (Alone) is sufficient for us, and, He is the Best Disposer of affairs.” So did Messenger of Allah Muhammad (ﷺ) when he was told: “A great army of the pagans had gathered against him, so fear them”. But this (warning) only increased him and the Muslims in Faith and they said: “Allah (Alone) is sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us)”. [Al-Bukhari].

Embracing the meaning behind the zikir is crucial. “Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs” signifies complete trust in Allah’s wisdom and control over our lives. This declaration can be made at any time, irrespective of circumstances, as it symbolizes our reliance on Allah alone.
Trusting Allah Beyond Reasoning
By uttering ‘Hasbunallahu Wa Nimal Wakeel,’ we are essentially entrusting our affairs to Allah, acknowledging that His plans may differ from our own. This act of surrendering to His will lifts the burden off our shoulders, providing a sense of peace. The Quran reinforces this concept, stating, “And whoever relies upon Allah, then He is sufficient for him” (Qur’an, 65:3).
