The question

Are the following supplications authentic: "There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner; to Him belongs all sovereignty, and to Him belongs all praise, and He is over all things competent" ten times a little before Maghrib, and "O Allah, this is the approach of Your night, and the retreat of Your day, and the sounds of Your callers, so forgive me" upon hearing the Maghrib Adhan, and saying "O Turner of hearts and sights, keep my heart steadfast upon Your religion" after the two rak'ahs of Maghrib, and saying "O Allah, I ask You for Paradise; O Allah, protect me from the Fire" seven times after the Maghrib prayer and before speaking to people?

The answer

No specific remembrance (dhikr) or supplication (dua) for the Maghrib prayer has been authentically reported in the sound hadiths. General morning and evening remembrances have been reported, which can be recited after Maghrib.

- The hadith "La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah..." ten times after Maghrib is weak, but the remembrance itself is reported among the morning and evening remembrances. - The hadith "Allahumma inna hadha iqbalu laylik..." at the time of the Maghrib adhan is weak, and it should not be regularly timed as an act of worship. - The hadith "Ya Muqallib al-qulub thabbit qulubana ala dinik" after Maghrib is very weak, and the correct approach is to frequently supplicate with it at all times. - The hadith "Allahumma ajirni min an-nar" seven times after Maghrib is weak; the hadith about asking for Paradise and seeking refuge from the Fire three times suffices instead.
