The Book of Prayer - Travellers
Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1811
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ جِبْرَائِيلَ وَمِيكَائِيلَ وَإِسْرَافِيلَ فَاطِرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ أَنْتَ تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ اهْدِنِي لِمَا اخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِكَ إِنَّكَ تَهْدِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ
Allāhumma rabba jibrāʾīla wamīkāʾīla wa-isrāfīla fāṭira as-samawāti wa-l-arḍi ʿālima al-ghaybi wa-ash-shahādah anta taḥkumu bayna ʿibādika fīmā kānūā fīhi yakhtalifūna āhdinī limā ākhtulifa fīhi mina al-ḥaqqi biʾidhnika innaka tahdī man tashāʾu ilā ṣirāṭin mustaqīmin

The full narration
Abd al-Rahman b. 'Auf reported:I asked 'A'isha, the mother of the believers, (to tell me) the words with which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commenced the prayer when he got up at night. She said: When he got up at night he would commence his prayer with these words: O Allah, Lord of Gabriel, and Michael, and Israfil, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, Who knowest the unseen and the seen; Thou decidest amongst Thy servants concerning their differences. Guide me with Thy permission in the divergent views (which the people) hold about Truth, for it is Thou Who guidest whom Thou wilt to the Straight Path
