Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah make it easy for you. This person says: In our noble religion, there are multiplied rewards. There are authentic hadiths regarding this, including the hadith: and 'Umrah. And the hadith of 'Ubadah ibn al-Samit, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) told us that So we say: O Allah, forgive the believing men and believing women. We want, Honorable Shaykh, clarification of these two hadiths. Should this be part of our daily routine? Do we need to include both the living and the dead in our supplication? And can we receive more than a billion good deeds through such a supplication? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
It is obligatory for the Muslim, or at least recommended, to act upon the authentic hadiths of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and to implement them, and to be sincere to Allah the Exalted and Majestic in supplicating for himself, for his parents, and for his Muslim brothers in accordance with what is reported in these hadiths and others, and to be consistent in doing so. However, one should not restrict a supplication to a specific time unless there is evidence for it. If the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Whoever does this in the morning" or "does it in the evening," and the Messenger specified the time, then you act according to that time and tie it to that time. But if it is general, then you supplicate with that supplication at any time, whether morning, evening, forenoon, or any other time, as long as it is a general supplication not restricted to a specific time. As for the multiplication, calculation, and billions mentioned in the question, it is not for a person to calculate billions and millions from Allah the Exalted and Majestic. Rather, he acts upon the hadith, and the excess is left to Allah, Glorified and Exalted. He is the One who records for him reward according to the correctness of his intention and its conformity with the Shari'ah. A person may do many deeds and nothing is recorded for him because it is not in conformity, not in conformity with the Sunnah.
And a person may do many deeds and only a little is recorded for him because it is not in conformity, or because the intention varies. So all of this is left to Allah, Exalted and Majestic. The person acts upon the causes and hopes for the favor of Allah, Glorified and Exalted.
