The Prophet ﷺ said: "No Muslim makes Du'a - unless it involves sin or cuting off his kinship - but that he is given one of three things:
Either his Du'a is answered quickly, or it is stored up for him in the Akhira, or an evil equal (e.g.: calamity) to it is averted from him." It was said: 'He said: Then we will do (a lot of them).' He replied: "Allah has even more to give!"

The Prophet ﷺ said: "The gates of heaven open at midnight, and a herald exclaims: 'Is there anyone supplicating that his Du'a may be answered? Is there anyone asking that he may be given? Is there anyone in distress so that someone may be relieved (from it)?' So, there is no Muslim who supplicates with a Du'a except that Allah Almighty answers it [...]"

The Prophet ﷺ said: "When the last third of the night remains, Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, descends to the lowest heaven and says: Who is he who calls upon Me, so that I may respond? [...] Who is there to seek relief from hardship so that I may relieve them; until the (true) dawn breaks?"

The supplication of the oppressed is answered here
Whenever a matter would distress him, the Prophet ﷺ would say: "O Ever-Living, O Self-Sustaining and All-Sustaining, in Your Mercy do I seek relief" (Ya Hayyu, ya Qayyum, bi-rahmatika astaghith)
Al-Mustadrak (1/589) Hasan li Ghayrihi as explained in As-Sahihah (7/556-8 - #3182)
The Prophet ﷺ said: "No Muslim has ever been afflicted with worry or sadness, and he says: O Allah, I am Your servant, the son of Your servant, my forelock is in Your hand, Your judgment upon me is assured, and Your decree concerning me is just. I ask You by every name You have named Yourself, revealed in Your Book, taught to any of Your creation, or kept unknown in the unseen with You, to make the Qur'an the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness, and the reliever of my distress (Allahumma inni a'bduk, wa ibnu amatik, nasiyati fi yadik, madin fiy-ya hukmuk, a'd-lun fi qada'uk - As'aluka bi-kullis-min huwa laka sam-mayta bihi nafsak, au a-nzaltahu fi kitabik, au a'llamtahu ahadan min khalqik, a-wista-tharta bihi fi i'lmil-ghaybi i'ndak, an taj-a'lal Qurana rabi'a qalbi, wa jila-a huz-ni, wa dhahaba ham-mi) except that Allah will take away his worry, and instead, He will replace it with joy." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, should we not learn these words?" He replied: "Certainly, whoever hears them should learn them."
Al-Mustadrak (1/690) Al-Hakim said: 'This is a Sahih Hadith according to the criteria of Muslim, as long as it is confirmed from A'bdurrahman bin A'bdullah transmitting from his father; there is disagreement regarding his hearing from his father.'
Rather, it is confirmed namely via the evidence mentioned in Tahdhib at-Tahdhib (6/215-6 - #433) - Ibn Hajar graded its chain 'la basa bih' - that the son of Ibn Mas'ud was at his father's deathbed and asked: 'O father, advise me.' He said: 'Weep for your sins!'
Shaykh Albani said in As-Sahihah (1/383-7 - #199): 'It is free from discontinuity, as his hearing from him has been confirmed by several scholars, including Sufyan ath-Thauri, Sharik al-Qadi, Ibn Ma'in, Al-Bukhari, and Abu Hatim. [...] Therefore, the opinion of those who deny his hearing is not considered, as they have no evidence except their lack of knowledge about it.' Abu Salamah al-Juhani - who is Musa bin A'bdullah - 'is a trustworthy narrator of Imam Muslim' as elaborated via Shaykh Shakir's research.
[Anas] used to hear [the Prophet ﷺ] say: "O Allah, I seek refuge with you from worries and grief, incapacity and laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, from being heavily in debt and from being overpowered by other men" (Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal hammi wal hazan, wal a'jzi wal kasal, wal bukhl, wal jubn, wa dala-i'd-dayn, wa ghalabatir-rijal)
Al-Bukhari (6363, 6367)
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from laziness, old age, the punishment of the grave, and the trials of the chest" (Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal kasal, wal haram, wa a'dhabil qabr, wa min fitnatis-sadr)
Musnad al-Bazzar (4811) Shaykh Albani commented in Sahih Mawarid (2445): 'Its Isnad is Hasan in terms of corroborating evidence, [all] narrators are Sahih, except Qabus [bin Abi Dhabyan] - and he is lenient.' Furthermore, in Ibn Hibban (1024): 'In its Isnad - Abu Ishaq [...] makes [the Hadith] weak due to his inconsistency' in other narrations. In sum, those two cited narrations can be used to strengthen one another.
There is another Hadith referencing the chest which is to be found in Sunan an-Nasa'i (2385), graded Sahih in Sahih at-Targhib (1036), that the Prophet ﷺ said:
"Shall I not tell you something that will remove the heat of the chest? Fast three days of every month."
Anas reported that Allah's Messenger ﷺ visited a person from amongst the Muslims in order to inquire (about his health) who had grown feeble like the chicken. Allah's Messenger ﷺ said: "Did you supplicate for anything or beg of Him about that?" He said: 'Yes, I used to utter (these words): Impose punishment upon me earlier in this world, what Thou art going to impose upon me in the Hereafter.' Thereupon [he] said: "Subhanallah, you have neither the power nor forbearance to take upon yourself (this burden). Why did you not say this: O Allah, grant us good in the world and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the torment of Fire" (Allahumma atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil akhirati hasanatan wa qina a'dhaban-nar) 'He supplicated to Allah for him, and He cured him.'
Muslim (2688a-d)
The Prophet ﷺ used to supplicate: "O Allah, I ask You for forgiveness and well-being in this world and in the Hereafter - O Allah, I ask You for well-being in my religion and my family. Cover my faults and calm my fears. Protect me from in front of me, from behind me, from my right, from my left, and from above me, and I seek refuge in You from being taken unaware from beneath me" (Allahumma inni asalukal a'fwa wal a'fiyata fid-dunya wal Akhirah - Allahumma inni asalukal a'fiyata fi dini wa ahli, wastur-a'urati wa amin rau-a'ti, wah-fazni min bayni yaday-ya, wa min khalfi, wa a'n yamini, wa a'n yasari, wa min fauqi, wa a'udhu bika an ughtala min tahti)

Allah's Messenger ﷺ supplicated in these words: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the disappearance of Your blessings, the change of Your protection, the suddenness of Your punishment, and all Your displeasure" (Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min zawali ni'matik, wa tahau-wali a'fiyatik, wa fuja-ati niqmatik, wa-jami'i sakhatik)
Muslim (2739)
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from an evil day, an evil night, an evil hour, an evil companion, and an evil neighbor in the place of permanent residence" (Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min yaumis-su, wa min laylatis-su, wa min sa'a-tis-su, wa min sahibis-su, wa min jaris-su-i fi daril muqamah)
Mu'jam al-Kabir (810 - 17/294) Jayyid Isnad
Allah's Messenger ﷺ said: "Whoever enters a place (resp. dwelling where sb. lives) and then says: I seek refuge in the Perfect Word of Allah from the evil of what He has created (A'udhu bikalimatil-lahit-tam-mati min sharri ma khalaq) nothing would harm him until he leaves that place."
Muslim (2708a)
(The Evil Eye - Al-A'yn) The Prophet ﷺ used to seek refuge with Allah for Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn, and said: "Your forefather (Ibrahim) used to seek refuge with Allah for Isma'il and Ishaq by reciting the following: O Allah, I seek refuge with Your Perfect Words from every devil and from poisonous pests and from every evil, harmful, envious eye" (A'udhu bikalimatil-lahit-tammah, min kulli shaytanin wa hammah, wa min kulli a'ynin lammah)
Al-Bukhari (3371); in Muslim (2188): "The influence of an evil eye is a fact; if anything would precede the destiny it would be the influence of an evil eye..." and in Kashf al-Astar (3052), which Ibn Hajar graded Hasan in Fath al-Bari (10/204), it is narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Most of those who die among my Ummah is because of the will and decree of Allah, and then because of the evil eye" [which also encompasses Allah's Qadr].
The Prophet ﷺ said: "When one of you sees something in his brother that pleases him regarding his self or his wealth, let him invoke blessings upon him; for the evil eye is real!" (e.g. by saying: Allahumma barik (fih) - O Allah, bless it)
Ibn as-Sunni (205) classed Sahih in As-Sahihah (6/148-150 - #2572)
The Prophet ﷺ commanded us to say when in the state of fear: "I seek refuge in the Perfect words of Allah from His wrath and from His punishment, and from the evil of His servants and from the temptations of the Shayatin, and from their presence" (A'udhu bikalimatil-lahit-tammati min ghadabihi wa min i'qabihi wa min sharri i'badihi, wa min hamazatish-shayatin, wa an yahdurun)
