The Ruling on the Fabricated Will Attributed to Shaykh Ahmad, the Keeper of the Keys of the Sacred Precinct

Question:
The questioner says: Some women, may Allah guide them, are distributing in this blessed mosque a fabricated will attributed to Shaykh Ahmad, the keeper of the keys of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) Sacred Precinct. It states that whoever reads it and does not spread it is cut off from the mercy of Allah, and so on. We ask for guidance, and may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This will appeared long ago, more than a hundred years ago in Egypt, as mentioned by Shaykh Muhammad Rashid Rida in the al-Manar magazine. He mentioned it early on, and its proponents have been promoting it without ceasing until now, for more than a hundred years, because they are people of superstition and misguidance, and they want this superstition to spread. It contains phrases like "I am this one." It is severe. First, it is lying about the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Good. He said: And this says that the Messenger said to me such and such, which is a lie about the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes. Denying the lie in the vision. Yes. It is permissible to lie in a vision; a person may see with his eyes what he did not see and say, "I saw such and such in a dream," and he is a liar. Third, it misleads people and obligates them with what Allah has not obligated them, in order to promote this falsehood, stating that whoever spreads it will gain such and such benefits, and whoever does not spread it will face punishments. All of this is lying about Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). It is obligatory to destroy this falsehood and these papers, and it is not permissible for a Muslim to promote or spread it, nor to be influenced by the promises or threats contained in it. He should consider it a lie and a fabrication, tear it up, destroy it, and warn people against it. This is the obligation upon Muslims, men and women. Yes.
