Summary
This supplication is narrated from Anas bin Malik in the Musnad of Ahmad and other books, but its chain is weak because of two problematic narrators, Zaidah bin Abi al-Ruqqad and Ziyad al-Numairi. The ruling leans towards the chain being very weak, so it cannot be attributed to the Prophet. However, the wording of the supplication itself is not problematic to recite, since one may ask Allah for anything that does not contradict the Shariah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
