The ruling on the book *Al-Du'a al-Mustajab* (The Accepted Supplication) and the innovations it contains

The fourth question of Fatwa No. ( 7011 ):
Q4: Is the book *Al-Du'a al-Mustajab* (The Accepted Supplication) by the author Ahmad 'Abd al-Jawad a reliable source? I have read in it twelve rak'ahs to be prayed at night or during the day, with the tashahhud recited between every two rak'ahs. When you recite the tashahhud at the end of your prayer, you praise Allah (Mighty and Majestic), send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and while prostrating, you recite Surat al-Fatihah seven times, the Verse of the Throne seven times, and say: "There is no god but Allah alone, having no partner..." and so on, ten times. Then you say: "O Allah, I ask You by the bonds of glory from Your Throne, the limit of mercy from Your Book, Your greatest name, Your highest majesty, and Your perfect words," then you ask for your need, then you raise your head and conclude the prayer. It is narrated by al-Hakim from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). Is this statement correct or not?
In the hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade 'Ali from reciting while bowing and prostrating.
Vol. 4: Do not rely on this book due to the large number of weak and fabricated hadiths it contains. This includes what you mentioned in your question about reading the twelve-rak'ah prayer in the manner described... and so on. It is a religious innovation (bid'ah) because what you mentioned is not established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:
'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who innovates things in our affairs for which there is no valid (reason) (commits sin) and these are to be rejected.
