What is the ruling on the prayer of tasbih?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The question is: Is the prayer of tasbih authentic? And is it established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
The scholars of this era and those before them from the Salaf differed regarding the prayer of tasbih. Some of the Salaf practiced it and considered it good, and some of the Khalaf agreed with them on this. Some of the Salaf considered it inauthentic and deemed it fabricated, and a group of the later scholars agreed with them on this. I have examined it, and what has become apparent to me after reflecting on its text and its chains of narration is that it is inauthentic, that it is fabricated, and that the statement of those who said it was fabricated is more likely and more evident. It should not be practiced, and it has no basis, even if some of our brothers have said that it is authentic. The correct view is that it is inauthentic, that it is fabricated, and that it is not among the prayers that Allah prescribed for His servants. Yes.
