It is permissible for the wronged to supplicate against their oppressor without transgressing, but their patience and seeking reward from Allah are better and greater, for the supplication of the wronged is answered. There is no specific supplication mentioned for an oppressor, and the wronged person may choose what suits their grievance. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not supplicate against the people of Ta'if, and he used to say: "Indeed, I was not sent as a curser, but rather I was sent as a mercy."
