اللهمَّ إني أعوذُ بكَ مِن الفَقرِ، والقِلَّة، والذِّلَّة، وأعوذُ بكَ مِن أن أَظْلِمَ أو أُظلَمَ

Allahumma inni a’udhu bika minal faqri wal qillati wadh dhillati wa a’udhu bika min an azlima aw uzlama

Answer

Imam Abu Dawud (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu). Imam Hakim (rahimahullah). Imam Hakim (rahimahullah) has declared the Hadith authentic and Hafiz Dhahabi concurs.

(Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 1539, Mustadrak Hakim, vol. 1 pg. 531. Also see: Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 3842 and Sahih Ibn Hibban; Al Ihsan, Hadith: 1030)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
