The hadith of Jabir regarding supplication in the Masjid al-Fath
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We take the call from Muhammad in Makkah. Go ahead, Muhammad. Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. Honorable Shaykh, there is a hadith from Jabir ibn 'Abd Allah (may Allah be pleased with him) about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) It is said that this is one of the abandoned sunnahs. I do not know the authenticity of this matter or this hadith.
Answer:
No, it is not a sunnah. If it were a sunnah, the Companions would have practiced it and sought it out. The fact that his supplication was answered does not indicate that this is specific to this mosque. Supplication is answered, as your Lord said: “Call upon Me, and I will respond to you.” It is not specific to a particular mosque unless there is evidence specifying it as such. Yes.

He prayed in the Masjid al-Fath on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and he used to supplicate between the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers, so his supplication was answered on Wednesday.
صلى في مسجد الفتح الاثنين والثلوث والاربعاء وكان يدعي بين صلاة الظهر والعصر فاستجيب له يوم الاربعاء.Answer:
