*There is no might nor power except with Allaah*
*لا حول ولاقوة الابالله*
Sheikh Uthaimin رحمه الله said:
"If you have been exhausted by something, and were unable to do it say: *laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaah*
*(There is no might nor power except with Allaah)*
~ because Allaah the Most High will help you with it, and this saying is not something that is said when some calamity befalls, as done by many people when it is said to them such and such calamity occurred they say: 'Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illa billaah.'
Rather the dua for afflictions is to say: Inaa lillaahi wa innaa ilayhi raajioon (truly, to Allaah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return).
As for this dua (laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaah) it is a dua for seeking help. If you want Allaah سبحانه و تعالى to aid you with something you say: *laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaah*.
