What is the supplication that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, made when the people of Ta'if harmed him?
The supplication mentioned was narrated by Al-Tabarani from Abdullah bin Ja'far that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said it upon his return from Ta'if: "O Allah, I complain to You of my weakness and my insignificance before people, O Most Merciful of the merciful, to whom do You entrust me? To an enemy who frowns upon me or to a close one to whom You have given control over my affairs? If You are not angry with me, then I do not care, other than that Your well-being is more encompassing for me. I seek refuge in Your Countenance, by which darknesses are illuminated and upon which the affairs of this world and the Hereafter are set right, lest Your wrath descend upon me or Your displeasure befall me. To You belongs the blame until You are pleased. And there is no might or power except with Allah." Al-Haythami mentioned in "Majma' al-Zawa'id" that it contains Ibn Ishaq, who is a trustworthy but known to commit tadlis (concealing the name of a shaykh from whom one heard a hadith without directly mentioning him), and the rest of its narrators are trustworthy.
