اللَّهُمَّ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ، وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ

Allahumma La Mani A Lima Meaning In English
Allahumma la mani a lima means O Allah! None can deny that which You bestow and none can bestow that which You hold back; and the greatness of the great will be of no avail to them against You.
This is also a form of submission to Allah, the Mighty and sublime: none can deny that which He gives. You cannot withdraw whatever Allah has conferred and no one can give you whatever Allah holds back from you.

Thus, he said, “None can bestow that which You hold back.” If you believe that none can hold back what He gives and none can give what He holds back, hence we should not ask for anything except from Allah, the Mighty and Sublime.
And we must know that if a particular person bestows anything on us, the One who decreed it and made him give us is Allah.
He is nothing but a mere tool.However, we are commanded to thank the one who does good to us as stated by the Prophet SAW “He who does good to you, compensate him. But if you do not have what to compensate him with, pray for him till you consider that you have compensated him”.
But we know that the one who facilitated this gift for us and brought this giver to us is Allah, the Might and Sublime.
Al-Jadd refers to good fortune and wealth; that is, a fortunate person is the one that has good fortune and has wealth, children, wives and everything he desires in this world.

However, this will not avail him against Allah “And greatness of the great will be of no avail to them against you.”
Al-Jadd is the subject, that is, the good fortune and wealth will not benefit him in any way before Allah, the Might and Sublime. This is because to Allah belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth.
How often do we find a person who is happy with his family, and he has wealth, children and all that which he desires of this world, but these things will not benefit him before Allah.

He may be afflicted with an illness which none can remove from him except Allah, the Might and Sublime, or he may be afflicted with anxiety, worry and unrest. Hence, no one will benefit him except Allah, the Might and Sublime. These are forms of submission to Allah.
Hadith About Allahumma La Mani A Lima Ataita
Warrad, the scribe of Al-Mughirah bin Shu‘bah said: Al- Mughirah bin Shubah dictated a letter to me addressed to Muawiyah that the Prophet SAW used to supplicate at the end of each obligatory Salat (prescribed prayer):
“La ilaha illallahu, wahadahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku, wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa ‘ala kulli shai’in Qadir. Allahumma la mania lima a‘taita, wa la mutiya lima manata, wa la yanfau dhal-jaddi mink-aljaddu.
(There is no true god except Allah, the One, Who has no partner. His is the sovereignty and His is the praise, and He is Able to do everything. O Allah! Nobody can withhold what You give; and nobody can give what You withhold; and the high status of a person is of no avail against Your Will).”
