The questioner : The honorable Shaykh, a woman is asking about a supplication that is recited before sleeping. She says she heard it on television before the Friday prayer, and it is said to have been reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The text of this supplication is Is this supplication authentic or not?
The Shaykh : It is not authentic, it is not authentic. I wish she would clarify for us the episode in which this supplication was mentioned on television, if it was from the Kingdom’s television, because we do not like for what is not authentic to be broadcast from the Kingdom’s television. This hadith has no basis and is not acted upon.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Yes, and I would like her to specify it and let us know who the speaker was.
Whoever recites al-Fatihah four times is as if he has given four thousand dirhams in charity. Whoever says, “There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner, His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is over all things competent,” is as if he has circumambulated the Ka'bah. Whoever says, “I seek forgiveness from Allah, and there is no power and no strength except with Allah, and glory be to Allah the Magnificent,” ten times, Allah guarantees him Paradise.
من قرأ الفاتحة أربع مرات كأنه تصدق بأربعة آلاف درهم فمن قال لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير كأنه طاف بالكعبة ومن قال استغفر الله ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله وسبحان الله العظيم عشر مرات ضمن الله له الجنةThe Shaykh : It is not authentic, it is not authentic. I wish she would clarify for us the episode in which this supplication was mentioned on television, if it was from the Kingdom’s television, because we do not like for what is not authentic to be broadcast from the Kingdom’s television.
