Question:
Finally, in this lesson, I thank the brothers and sisters who followed it and are making du'a for the Shaykh. He says: Some imams say, "Pray the prayer of farewell." Is this phrase authentic, O Shaykh?
Answer:
I do not know of any basis for it. It is not in the Sunnah, except that I think it was mentioned in a hadith: "Pray the prayer of farewell," because Allah said to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), "Pray the prayer of farewell." But as for it being a recommended practice and being said, I do not know of any basis for that. Yes.
