What is the authenticity of the following?
When shaking hands, Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would not let go of a person’s hand until he had said the following du’a:
ربنا آتنا في الدنيا حسنة وفي الآخرة حسنة وقنا عذاب النار
Rabbana atina fid dunya hasanah wa fil akhirati hasanah wa qina ‘adhaban nar
Translation: O our Rabb! Grant us good in this world and the hereafter and save us from the torment of the fire.
Answer:
