Summary
This supplication is not narrated from the Prophet SAW, and no basis for it was found in any reliable hadith collection. A near-identical wording appears in the writings of Maliki scholars, where Sheikh Ahmad al-Zaruq recited it three times. It is considered to have good wording, to not contradict the principles of the Shariah, to contain no element of shirk and to include names of Allah, so it may be recited. Other supplications narrated from the Prophet SAW also exist.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Walaupun doa tersebut tidak warid daripada Nabi SAW, ini tidak bermakna tidak boleh berdoa dengan doa tersebut.
