Is the aforementioned supplication authentic?
The supplication mentioned is a collection of scattered hadiths. Among them is what Ahmad, Abu Dawud, and Al-Nasa’i narrated from Abu Al-Yasar that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to supplicate: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from old age, and I seek refuge in You from falling down, and I seek refuge in You from sorrow, drowning, burning, and old age. And I seek refuge in You from Satan striking me down at the time of death, and I seek refuge in You from dying in Your path while fleeing, and I seek refuge in You from dying from a poisonous sting." In Al-Bukhari, from Abu Hurayrah: "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to seek refuge from severe affliction, from reaching wretchedness, from a bad decree, and from the malicious joy of enemies." In Sahih Muslim, from Abdullah bin Umar, he said: "Among the supplications of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was: 'O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the cessation of Your blessing, the change of Your well-being, the suddenness of Your vengeance, and all Your displeasure.'" In Sahih Al-Bukhari, from Anas bin Malik, he said: "The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to say: 'O Allah, I seek refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, from inability and laziness, from cowardice and stinginess, from being burdened with debt, and from being overpowered by men.'"
