Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 7332 — I think he narrated it through Zirr bin

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ ، نَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ، نَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ جَمِيلٍ ، ثَنَا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، حَسِبْتُهُ عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ : كُنَّا نُعَلَّمُ الِاسْتِخَارَةَ كَمَا نُعَلَّمُ السُّورَةَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ : إِذَا أَرَادَ الرَّجُلُ أَمْرًا أَنْ يَقُولَ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ ، وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْوَاسِعِ ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ ، وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ ، وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ الَّذِي أُرِيدُهُ - وَيُسَمِّيهِ - خَيْرًا لِي فِي أَمْرِ دِينِي ، وَخَيْرًا لِي فِي أَمْرِ دُنْيَايَ ، وَخَيْرًا لِي فِي أَمْرِ آخِرَتِي ، وَخَيْرًا لِي فِي عَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ، وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ شَرًّا لِي فِي أَمْرِ دِينِي ، وَشَرًّا لِي فِي أَمْرِ دُنْيَايَ ، وَشَرًّا لِي فِي عَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي ، وَيَسِّرْ لِيَ الْخَيْرَ ، وَاقْضِ لِي بِهِ ، ثُمَّ رَضِّنِي بِقَضَائِكَ I " .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ مُبَارَكِ بْنِ فَضَالَةَ إِلَّا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ جَمِيلٍ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : الْفَضْلُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) (Asim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I think he narrated it through Zirr bin Hubaysh (may Allah have mercy on him)) that he said: "We used to be taught the istikharah (supplication) just as we were taught a surah of the Qur'an: that when a man intends to do something, he should say: 'Allahumma inni astakhiruka bi-'ilmika, wa astaqdiruka bi-qudratika, wa as'aluka min fadlika al-wasi', fa-innaka taqdiru wa la aqdiru, wa ta'lamu wa la a'lamu, wa anta 'allamu al-ghuyub. Allahumma in kana hadha al-amru alladhi uriduhu (and he names it) khayran li fi amri dini, wa khayran li fi amri dunyaya, wa khayran li fi amri akhirati, wa khayran li fi 'aqibati amri, fa-yassirhu li, wa barik li fihi; wa in kana sharran li fi amri dini, wa sharran li fi amri dunyaya, wa sharran li fi 'aqibati amri, fa-srifhu 'anni, wa yassir liya al-khayra, waqdi li bihi, thumma raddini bi-qada'ik' (O Allah, I seek good from You through Your knowledge, and I seek ability (for the good) from You through Your power, and I ask You of Your immense bounty, for You have power and I have no power, You know (everything) and I do not know, and You are the Knower of all unseen things. O Allah, if this matter that I intend (and here he names the matter) is good for me in the affair of my religion, the affair of my worldly life, the affair of my Hereafter and in the outcome of my affair, then make it easy for me and bless me in it. And if it is bad for me in the affair of my religion, the affair of my worldly life and in the outcome of my affair, then turn it away from me, and make the good easy for me wherever it may be, and decree it for me, then make me pleased with Your decree)."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Mubarak bin Fadalah except al-Haytham bin Jamil, and al-Fadl bin Ya'qub is alone in narrating it."
