Question : He says: What is the ruling on one who makes a supplication and includes it among the dhikr, when it was not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) except in a specific situation? For example.

Answer : Yes. It is the norm that a person does not say "Qadar Allah wa ma sha'a fa'ala" (Decree of Allah and what He willed happened) except when something disliked befalls him. If something disliked befalls him, there is no harm in saying it, even if it is not part of his usual practice. I mean, you might say that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Strive for what benefits you," up to his saying, "And if something befalls you, do not say, 'If I had done such and such, such and such would have happened.'" But we say that his saying "Qadar Allah wa ma sha'a fa'ala" is acceptable for a person to say in every matter. Likewise, istirja' (seeking reward from Allah) when a calamity befalls a person, whatever calamity it is, he should seek reward from Allah, and there is no harm in that.
