Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the supplication of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) Is it prescribed for a Muslim to memorize it and recite it during calamities?
Answer:
That is fine, there is no harm in it. The hadith is weak; the hadith is weak. The hadith of the supplication of al-Ta’if is weak, but its meanings are sound. So if a Muslim supplicates with it, there is no harm. Yes.
