I read in a small book a hadith that says: (Take from the Qur'an whatever you wish for whatever you wish). Is this hadith authentic?

The questioner : Your Eminence, peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings. After that, I read in a small book a hadith that says "Take from the Qur'an whatever you wish for whatever you wish". Is this hadith authentic? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh :"Take from the Qur'an whatever you wish for whatever you wish" is a hadith that is widespread on the tongues of some people, but unfortunately, it is one of those hadiths that has no basis in the Sunnah. Therefore, it is not permissible to narrate it or attribute it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his family. First, this broad, common meaning is not valid and is not established in any way in the Shari'ah of Islam. "Take from the Qur'an whatever you wish for whatever you wish" means that I should sit in the back of my house, not work in my profession or craft, and seek my provision from my Lord, who will send it down from the sky to me, because I am taking from the Qur'an for this purpose. Who says this? This is false speech, and it is likely from the fabrication of those lazy Sufis who are characterized by sitting and staying in what they call ribat (spiritual lodges) or what else?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : The ribat (spiritual lodges), the ribat (spiritual lodges), where they descend and wait for Allah's provision from whoever brings it to them from among the people. Knowing that this is not the nature of the Muslim, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised all the Muslims to high ambition and self-dignity. He said, may the prayer and peace be upon him, . And I am pleased, on this occasion, with what I had read regarding some of the ascetics and Sufis, and I will not lengthen the matter, for their stories are numerous and strange. They claimed that one of them went out as a traveler, roaming the earth without provisions, until the situation reached the point where he nearly died of hunger. He saw a village in the distance and went to it. It was Friday, and he had, by his claim, gone out relying on Allah, not as one who relies on Allah as indicated by the Sunnah. So that he would not, by his claim, break his claimed reliance, he did not show himself to the public in the mosque, but he hid himself under the pulpit so that no one would notice him. However, in his heart, he was telling himself that perhaps someone would notice him. And so the preacher delivered his sermon, and he had not prayed with the congregation, perhaps believing that he was a traveler, and a traveler is not required to pray Jumu'ah. It is not our day today. The story is intended to provide a lesson. After the imam finished the sermon and the prayer, and the people began to leave the mosque in groups and individually, the man felt that the mosque was nearly empty of people. At that time, the doors would be closed, and he would remain alone in the mosque with no food, no drink, and nothing else. He had no choice but to clear his throat to establish his presence to those present. Some people turned around and found that he had become like a chick from hunger and thirst. They took him and helped him, and finally asked him, "Who are you, man?" He said, "I am an ascetic who relies on Allah." They said, "How are you relying on Allah when you nearly died? If you were truly relying on Allah, you would not have coughed or alerted the people until you died from your own sin." This is an example of what such a hadith leads to. "Take from the Qur'an whatever you wish for whatever you wish" is a hadith with no basis. Yes.
