The questioner : The authenticity of the hadith: As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 64:508, and it is said four times in the evening and four times in the morning?
The Shaykh : This is a hadith narrated by Abu Dawud with a weak chain of narration from Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him); therefore, it is not valid in terms of its chain of narration.
O Allah, I bear witness to You, and I bear witness to the bearers of Your Throne, Your angels, and all Your creation, that You are Allah, there is no deity but You, alone, without partner, and that Muhammad is Your servant and Your Messenger.
اللهم إني أشهدك ، وأشهد حملة عرشك ، وملائكتك ، وجميع خلقك ؛ بأنك أنت الله لا إله إلا أنت وحدك لا شريك لك ، وأن محمدًا عبدك ورسولكThe Shaykh : This is a hadith narrated by Abu Dawud with a weak chain of narration from Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him); therefore, it is not valid in terms of its chain of narration.
