The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh, regarding the prayer of tasbih?
The Shaykh:
There is a hadith reported regarding the prayer of tasbih from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It is attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the scholars have differed on it; some have authenticated it or graded it as good, while others have weakened it or ruled it to be fabricated.
The correct view is that the hadith reported regarding the prayer of tasbih is not established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) due to the amount of criticism leveled against it by scholars, and also because of the strangeness in the description of the prayer mentioned in it, which contradicts the known and prescribed prayers. Based on this, the prayer of tasbih is not prescribed, and it is not permissible to perform it, because there is no evidence for it from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). One does not do of it except what is established by evidence from the Book of Allah or the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
