The answer

The narrated by Asma bint Umays from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Whoever is afflicted by sorrow, or grief, or illness, or hardship, and says: 'Allah is my Lord, He has no partner,' that will be removed from him." Its chain of narration does not reach the degree of authenticity due to Abu al-Uyoof Su'ayb al-Anazi.

However, the hadith is strengthened by what Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawud, and others narrated from Asma bint Umays with the wording: "Shall I not teach you words that you may say at times of distress - or in distress - 'Allah, Allah, my Lord, I associate nothing with Him.'"

Thus, the hadith is considered (good) through both of its paths.
