and sin when he is not.

In the audio sample, the phrase ad-Dârr un Nâfi' is recited.
(Also written as al-darr, al-daarr, al-dzarr, al-tharr, al-thaarr, the Correcter, the Distresser: ya

92. An-Nâfi- The Beneficial Benefactor, Creator of Good, The Propitious, The Auspicious
The Beneficent. He who creates things that yield advantage and benefit. The One who gives
benefits to whoever He wills.
YA NAFTU: O Beneficent! No injury or pain will afflict those who recite this glorious Name, as many
times as they can in the course of four days. Anyone embarking a ship or boarding of any
conveyance should read this beautiful name of Allah abundantly; he will be safeguarded against all
hazards - if Allah wills. If read 41 times before a task, it will be accomplished efficiently Insha-
Allah. If said prior to intercourse. Allah will grant him good and pious children Insha-Allah. Any
person who reads this before starting any work 41 times his work will be done according to his
choice.
The One who helps and who grants all advantages. The One who creates all that produces benefit
and usefulness.
The One who grants all favorable circumstances. The One who confers all benefits.
The One who is continually blessing all of creation with goodness and all that is useful. The One
through whom all needs are fulfilled.
From the root n-f-' which has the following classical Arabic connotations:
to profit, to be of use
to be beneficial, useful
to have the use of something
The name Nâfi' is not specifically used as a Beautiful Name in the Qur'ân.
Nâfi' (creator of good) is the opposite of Dârr (distresser).
