Ruling on supplicating with the phrase "I complain to You of my mistakes and errors"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The ruling on supplicating with the phrase:
O Allah, I complain to Youاللهم إني أشكو إليك عُجَرِي وَبُجَرِي
Sunan Ibn Majah 2063Sahih (Darussalam)
?

Answer:
Its meaning is correct, meaning my mistakes, meaning guide me to the straight path. However, one should make clearer supplications: "O Allah, I ask You for guidance and uprightness," "O Allah, rectify my heart and my deeds," "O Allah, protect me from the evil of my tongue and the evil of my limbs." One should make comprehensive and clear supplications. As for "ujar" and "bujar," they are general terms, and their meaning is my mistakes and errors. That is their meaning.
Q: Is it narrated from 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)?
The Shaykh: If it is authentic from 'Ali, or even if it is not authentic from 'Ali, "ujar" and "bujar" mean mistakes and errors.
