Question: I found a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in which he said:
or something to that effect, narrated by al-Hakim from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him),And Ahmad ibn Harb said: I have tried it and found it to be authentic,And Ibrahim ibn Ali said: I have tried it and found it to be true,And al-Hakim said: Zakariyya said to us: I have tried it and found it to be true. Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good, is this prayer truly reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with this description?
Answer: I have not come across the source of this hadith in any of the books of hadith or books of takhrij available to me, nor do I know about it, given its strangeness, as the questioner mentioned, such as the prescription of reciting al-Fatihah other than while standing, in ruku' or in sujud, and the repetition of that. Also, it contains asking by the places of honor from the Throne and the like, all of which are strange matters. Therefore, the questioner should not act upon this hadith. In the authentic, established hadiths from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that are free from doubt, there are voluntary acts of worship, prayers, and obedience that contain goodness and sufficiency, if Allah wills.
As for what was mentioned that so-and-so tried it and found it authentic, and so-and-so tried it and found it authentic, all of this does not indicate the authenticity of the hadith. That is, a person trying something and achieving his objective does not indicate the authenticity of what was said about it, or what was reported about it,
because it may happen that this thing occurs by divine decree and destiny, or it may happen that it is a trial and test for the doer, so the occurrence of the thing does not indicate the authenticity of this report.
Twelve rak'ahs that you pray, whether at night or during the day, and you recite the tashahhud between every two rak'ahs. When you recite the tashahhud at the end of your prayer, praise Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and recite while you are prostrating al-Fatihah seven times, and the Verse of the Throne seven times, and say: "There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner, to Him belongs the dominion, and He is able to do all things" ten times, then say: O Allah, indeed I
اثنتا عشرة ركعة تصليهن من ليل أو نهار، وتتشهد بين كل ركعتين، فإذا تشهدت في آخر صلاتك فأثن على الله - عز وجل - وصل على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم واقرأ وأنت ساجد فاتحة الكتاب سبع مرات، وآية الكرسي سبع مرات، وقل: لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وهو على كل شيء قدير عشر مرات، ثم قل: اللهم إنيby the places of honor from Your Throne, and the limit of mercy from Your Book, and by Your greatest name, Your highest name, and Your perfect words, then ask for your need, then raise your head, then say the salam to the right and to the left. He said: Do not teach it to the foolish, for if they supplicate with it, it will be answered for them
بمعاقد العز من عرشك، ومنتهى الرحمة من كتابك، وباسمك الأعظم، وجدك الأعلى، وكلماتك التامة، ثم سل حاجتك، ثم ارفع رأسك، ثم سلم يمينًا وشمالًا، قال: ولا تعلموها السفهاء، فإن يدعوا بها يستجاب لهمAnswer: I have not come across the source of this hadith in any of the books of hadith or books of takhrij available to me, nor do I know about it, given its strangeness, as the questioner mentioned, such as the prescription of reciting al-Fatihah other than while standing, in ruku' or in sujud, and the repetition of that.
