In [[Shi'a]] and [[Sunni]] sources, it has been narrated from the [[Prophet (s)]] that this supplication is the [[Great name of God]] and if it is recited, God will answer it. Once a companion of the Prophet (s) asked him if this supplication was the only way of rescuing Prophet Yunus (a). The Prophet (s) referred to its next verse in the [[Qur'an]] saying that, "and thus do We deliver the faithful."<ref>Qur'an, 21:88.</ref> In another hadith from the Prophet (a), it has been emphasized that every Muslim who recites this supplication for the fulfillment of his request, God will fulfill his request.<ref>Jawrī Nayshābūrī, ''Qawāriʿ al-Qurʾān'', p. 25.</ref> It is transmitted from [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]] that, "I will be surprised about someone who has a sadness and does not seek refuge to this verse of the Qur'an which says, "There is no god except You! You are immaculate! I have indeed been among the wrongdoers!", while after it, God continues that "We answered his prayer and delivered him from the agony and thus do We deliver the faithful."<ref>Ṣadūq, ''Man lā yaḥḍuruh al-faqīh'', vol. 4, p. 393.</ref>
