The Prophet (peace be upon him) taught a specific dua for anxiety and grief: “Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-hammi wal-hazan” — “O Allah, I seek refuge in You from anxiety and grief.” Alongside it, the Qur'an points to the deeper cure: a heart that turns back to Allah.
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ ٱلْقُلُوبُAllazeena aamanoo wa tatma'innu quloobuhum bizikril laah; alaa bizikril laahi tatma'innul quloob“Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured."”Qur'an 13:28 · Surah Ar-Ra'd (Saheeh International)
The Prophet ﷺ paired seeking refuge from anxiety with an active remedy: turning the heart back to Allah through remembrance (dhikr). The cited verse names dhikr as the very thing that settles a restless heart.
