Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the supplication and the statement of the one who says, "O Allah, guide me to myself, for You are in no need of me or my worship," is this supplication valid?
Answer:
A supplication must be either something that has been transmitted or something that conforms to what has been transmitted. It must be either from what is found in the Book and the Sunnah, or it must conform to what is found in the Book and the Sunnah. I do not know this in the Qur'an or in the Sunnah.
