So if they turn away refraining from believing in you say ‘God suffices me. There is no god except Him. Upon Him I rely in Him have I put my trust and in none other and He is the Lord of the Tremendous Throne’ al-‘arsh al-azīm the kursī which is singled out for mention because it is the greatest of all things created. Al-Hākim reported in al-Mustadrak by way of an isnād from Ubayy b. Ka‘b that he Ubayy said ‘The last verse to be revealed was from Verily there has come to you a messenger… to the end of the sūra’ sc. Q. 9128-129.

The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) gave a decision between two men, and the one against whom the decision was given turned away and said: For me Allah sufficeth, and He is the best dispenser of affairs. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah, Most High, blames for falling short, but apply intelligence, and when the matter gets the better of you, say; For me Allah sufficeth, and He is the best disposer of affairs.

Sunan Abu Dawud #5083Abu al-Darda’ said:Sahih

if anyone says seven times morning and evening; “Allah sufficeth me: there is no god but He; on him is my trust- he, the Lord of the Throne (of glory) Supreme”, Allah will be sufficient for him against anything which grieves him, whether he is true or false in (repeating) them.

Jami` at-Tirmidhi #3327Narrated Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri:Sahih

that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "How can I be comfortable when the one with the horn is holding it in his lips and his forehead is leaning forward, waiting to be given permission to blow?" The Muslims said: "So what should we say, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Say: 'Allah is sufficient for us and what a good protector He is. We rely upon Allah'" - and perhaps Sufyan (one of the narrators) said: "upon Allah we rely."

Sahih al-Bukhari #7147Narrated Ibn `Abbas:Sahih

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to say at the time of difficulty, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Majestic, the Most Forbearing. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Lord of the Tremendous Throne. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Lord of the Heavens and the Lord of the Honourable Throne. (See Hadith No. 357, Vol. 8)

Jami` at-Tirmidhi #2501Abu Sa'eed narrated:Sahih

"The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'How can I be comfortable when the one with the horn is holding it to his lip, his ears listening for when he will be ordered to blow, so he can blow.' It was as if that was very hard upon the Companions of the Prophet (s.a.w), so he said to them: 'Say: "Allah is sufficent for us and what a good protector He is, and upon Allah we rely." This Hadith is Hasan. This Hadith has been reported through other routes from 'Atiyyah, from Abu Sa'eed from the Prophet SAW, similarly.
