What is the authenticity of Ibn Mas'ud's supplication: "O Allah, if You have written me as wretched"?

The questioner : The questioner says: You state that what is written in the Preserved Tablet is of no benefit. So what do you say regarding the statement of the Companion Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Allah, if You have written me as wretched, then write me among the happy ones, and prevent me from the first book"?

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : The questioner says: You state that what is written in the Preserved Tablet is of no benefit. So what do you say regarding the statement of the Companion Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: "O Allah, if You have written me as wretched with You, then forgive me and write me among the happy ones"? What did he intend regarding the writing?

The Shaykh : And with us.

The questioner : And Munawwar.

The Shaykh : Yes, regarding this hadith, first we require the questioner to prove its authenticity. We will give him until tomorrow or the day after. If he brings this hadith with a sound chain, the answer will be easy. However, if this hadith is not authentic—and that is the apparent case, because such a supplication is not fitting for Ibn Mas'ud and those like him—in any case, we require the brother questioner to prove to us the authenticity of this report or this athar from Abdullah ibn Mas'ud.
