We knkow these from Qur’aan but there is no report in the Sunnah that the Prophet (peace be upon him) recited them in his du’aa’. They are all good and contain guidance. Most of the du’aa’s of the Prophets and Messengers that we know are from the Qur’aan are undoubtedly their du’aa’s and are the most eloquent and most profound in meaning.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
People should make du’aa’ by reciting the prescribed du’aa’s that are mentioned in the Qur’aan and Sunnah, because these are undoubtedly virtuous and good, and this is the straight path. The scholars of Islam and the imams have mentioned the du’aa’s that are prescribed in Islam, and turned away from the innovated du’aa’s, so we should follow du’aa’s mentioned in Qur’aan and Sunnah. (Majmoo’ al-Fataawa’, 1/346, 348)
