Summary
The supplication is narrated by Imam Ahmad, Abu Daud and Ibn Majah from Ibn Umar, who said the Prophet SAW never left it out in the evening and morning. The hadith is graded sahih by Shaykh Syu'aib al-Arna'outh and Ibn Hibban, so practising it is strongly encouraged. Afiyah is understood as safety of religion from trials, of the body from illness including ailments of the heart, and of family and property from calamity. The ruling also states that other supplications are permitted as long as their meaning is good and does not contradict religion.
