In short
Ayyub was blessed with family, health and wealth — and he was always thankful. Allah told him to strike the ground with his foot, and a cool spring came out to wash and drink. The dua is: “Anni massaniyad-durru wa anta arhamur-rahimin.” — Indeed, adversity has touched me, and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful. (Surah Al-Anbiya 21:83).
Did you know?
Ayyub's dua doesn't even ask for anything directly — it trusts Allah's mercy.
