Question:
I wanted to ask if this is the Du’a by Anas ibn Malik. Is there a way to check or find the reference?
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer
We have not come across this narration, with this wording, in any of the major books of Hadith. Therefore, we cannot ascertain if this dua was taught to Anas (RA). However, its meaning is correct; thus, you may read it in the form of a dua. Nevertheless, by way of precaution, we must refrain from attributing this narration to the Prophet (SAW).
