How sound are the following hadiths: "What prevents one of you, if his livelihood becomes difficult, from saying when he leaves his house: 'In the name of Allah upon myself, my wealth, and my religion. O Allah, make me content with Your decree, and bless me in what You have destined for me, so that I do not wish to hasten what You have delayed, nor to delay what You have hastened'" and "O Allah, make me content with Your decree and bless me in what You have destined so that I do not wish to hasten what You have delayed, nor to delay what You have hastened"?
The hadith "Bismillah 'ala nafsi" (In the name of Allah, upon myself) was narrated by Ibn al-Sunni from Ibn Umar, and by al-Daylami, al-Tabarani, and Ibn Adi. Ibn Adi weakened it due to Isa bin Maymun. Abu Nu'aym and al-Daylami also narrated it from Anas, but its chain of narration is weak. The supplication "Allahumma raddini bi-qada'ik" (O Allah, make me content with Your decree) is part of the aforementioned hadith and was deemed weak by Al-Albani in "Da'if al-Jami'".
