What is the ruling on repeating the name of the Glorious Allah, "Allah, Allah"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said that the word "Allah" is the greatest of names. Is repeating the word "Allah, Allah" considered from the prescribed dhikr?

Answer:
This is the dhikr of the Sufis. They are the ones who say "Allah, Allah" and consider it dhikr. They do not say "La ilaha illa Allah, I seek Allah's forgiveness and I repent to Him." They do not come with the phrases; they come with the single name "Allah, Allah." Or after their special practices, they do not say "Allah"; they say "He, He, He," and so on. Yes. When some of them were asked about this, one said, "I am afraid I will die before I finish. If I say 'La ilaha illa Allah,' I am afraid I will die before I finish it." Yes, indeed. Yes. Satan says this to them. Yes.
