What is the authenticity of the chains of narration (asanid) of the following hadiths mentioned in Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah: 1. "Whoever fears injustice from a ruler and says: 'I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, Islam as my religion, Muhammad as my Prophet, and the Qur'an as my judge and guide,' Allah will deliver him from it"? 2. "O Allah, God of Jibreel, Mika'il, and Israfil, and God of Ibrahim, Isma'il, and Ishaq, grant me well-being and do not let any of Your creation overpower me with anything I cannot bear"? 3. The supplication of Abdullah ibn Ja'far for his daughter during hardships: "There is no god but Allah, the Forbearing, the Generous. Glory be to Allah, Lord of the Mighty Throne. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds"? 4. The supplication for deliverance from the evil of oppressors: "O Allah, Lord of Ibrahim, and Lord of Ishaq, and Lord of Ya'qub, and Lord of Jibreel, Mika'il, and Israfil, and Revealer of the Torah, the Injil, the Zabur, and the Great Qur'an, ward off from me the evil of Ziyad"?

These are not elevated Hadith (Marfu') attributed to the Prophet, peace be upon him, but rather actions (Athar) attributed to some Companions and Tabi'un. Their gradations are as follows:

1. The Narration of Abu Mijlaz: Whoever says, when fearing an oppressive ruler: "I am content with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, with Muhammad as my Prophet, and with the Quran as a ruler and a leader," Allah will save him from that ruler. Its chain of narration (Isnad) is sound (Sahih). 2. The Narration of Al-Sha'bi (First): The supplication of his close ones: "O Allah, God of Jibreel, Mika'il, and Israfil, and God of Ibrahim, Isma'il, and Ishaq, grant me well-being and do not let any of Your creation overpower me with anything I cannot bear." Its chain of narration (Isnad) is sound (Sahih). 3. The Narration of Abdullah ibn Ja'far: If a severe hardship befalls a person, he says: "There is no god but Allah, the Forbearing, the Generous. Glory be to Allah, Lord of the Magnificent Throne. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds." This narration is mawquf (attributed to a Companion) and not marfu' (attributed to the Prophet); the correct view is that it is mawquf. 4. The Narration of Al-Sha'bi (Second): A supplication for one who feared Ziyad ibn Abi Sufyan: "O Allah, Lord of Ibrahim, Lord of Ishaq, and Lord of Ya'qub, and Lord of Jibreel, Mika'il, and Israfil, and Revealer of the Torah, the Injil, the Zabur, and the Great Quran, repel from me the evil of Ziyad." Its chain of narration (Isnad) is sound (Sahih).

Al-Shawkani mentioned that these narrations might be experiential, and there is no harm in using them for seeking refuge or healing, unlike pure acts of worship which require a specific textual basis (Tawqif).
