Question:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not establish it, nor did any of his successors, nor did any of the leaders of the religion, such as Malik, al-Shafi'i, Ahmad, Abu Hanifah, al-Thawri, al-Awza'i, al-Layth, and others, recommend it. The narrations reported regarding it are lies, according to the consensus of the people of knowledge of hadith. Likewise, the prayer mentioned for the first Friday night of Rajab, which is referred to as the first Friday night of Rajab, and the prayer on the night of the Ascension.
