The word(s) "distress" appears 30 time(s) in 30 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(21) And We delivered them both and their people from the mighty distress.

(22) And when distress afflicts a man he calls upon his Lord turning to Him frequently; then when He makes him possess a favor from Him, he forgets that for which he called upon Him before, and sets up rivals to Allah that he may cause (men) to stray off from His path. Say: Enjoy yourself in your ungratefulness a little, surely you are of the inmates of the fire.

(23) And if We make him taste mercy from Us after distress that has touched him, he would most certainly say: This is of me, and I do not think the hour will come to pass, and if I am sent back to my Lord, I shall have with Him sure good; but We will most certainly inform those who disbelieved of what they did, and We will most certainly make them taste of hard chastisement.

(24) And know that among you is Allah's Apostle; should he obey you in many a matter, you would surely fall into distress, but Allah has endeared the faith to you and has made it seemly in your hearts, and He has made hateful to you unbelief and transgression and disobedience; these it is that are the followers of a right way.

(25) So they said: What! a single mortal from among us! Shall we follow him? Most surely we shall in that case be in sure error and distress:

(26) Surely the guilty are in error and distress.

(27) So wait patiently for the judgment of your Lord, and be not like the companion of the fish, when he cried while he was in distress.

(28) I will make a distressing punishment overtake him.

(29) Surely we fear from our Lord a stern, distressful day.

(30) Certainly We have created man to be in distress.
