The questioner : We have not spoken about the addition.
The Shaykh : Yes, regarding the addition "You do not break Your promise," the hadith scholars have differed on whether it is established or not. The apparent view is that some said it is not established due to its anomaly, because most of those who narrated the hadith did not include this phrase. They said that the context requires that it not be omitted, as it is a place of supplication and praise, and what is of this nature is not permissible to omit because it is an act of worship. Some scholars said that its chain of narration is authentic and that it is recited, stating that it does not contradict the other versions. Among those who held the view that it is authentic is Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz, who said that its chain is authentic. Al-Bayhaqi narrated it with an authentic chain. They also said that this is what supplications are concluded with, as Allah the Exalted said:[Ali 'Imran 3:194] So, whoever considers it authentic, it is prescribed for him, and whoever considers it anomalous and does not act upon it, he omits it. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) and our companions hold the view that it is anomalous and not recommended. Yes.
