Question:
A female questioner says: She is suffering... She has a question. It has been narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) this hadith from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:, and send prayers upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and recite while you are prostrating the opening of the Book seven times, and the Verse of the Throne seven times, and say: “There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner, to Him belongs dominion and to Him belongs praise, and He is over all things competent” ten times, then say: “O Allah, I ask You by the bonds of glory from Your Throne, the limit of mercy from Your Book, Your greatest name, Your highest anger, and Your perfect words, then ask for your need, then raise your head, then say the closing salam to the right and to the left, and do not teach it to the ignorant, for they invoke with it and are answered” . Al-Hakim narrated it.
And he said: Ahmad ibn Harb said, “I have tried it and found it to be true.” And Ibrahim ibn Ali al-Dibbi said, “I have tried it and found it to be true.” And Abu Zakariyya said, “I have tried it and found it to be true.” Al-Hakim said, “I have tried it and found it to be true.” It is unique to Amir ibn Khudash, who is a trustworthy and reliable narrator. The author said: Amir is our Shaykh Abu al-Husayn, who is a Naysaburi known for narrating anomalies. And it is also unique to Umar ibn Harun al-Balkhi, who is one whose narrations are abandoned. As far as I know, only Ibn Mahdi praised him. End of quote.
The question is: Is this hadith authentic? For I am suffering from doubt about it?
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. And all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon His trustworthy Messenger, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon whoever follows his guidance until the Day of Judgment. As for what follows:
This hadith is not authentic; rather, it is fabricated and a lie attributed to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). We have pointed this out for a long time. The author of the book (The Answered Supplication) mentioned it in his book, which is a book that is not permissible to rely upon, and its author is not among the people of knowledge. For this reason, we have pointed this out for a long time, and we have clarified that this book is not permissible to rely upon and that this hadith is fabricated. We have written what Allah has completed regarding this matter.
It is necessary to alert readers to the lie of this report and to not rely on this book, which is the book *The Answered Supplication*, because of the weak and fabricated hadiths it contains. No one should think that this hadith is authentic; rather, it is a lie and not authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he prohibited recitation in bowing and prostration, and this involves recitation in bowing and prostration. Umar ibn Harun, the narrator, is a liar upon whom one does not rely, and so is Amir ibn Khudash before him.
The point is: The hadith is fabricated and a lie, and one does not rely on it. It is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:Sunan Ibn Majah 1373Maudu’ (Darussalam) Then he specified it in the narration of al-Tirmidhi (may Allah have mercy on him), saying: , and these are the regular voluntary prayers that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to maintain. Whoever maintains them, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise. He prays four before the midday prayer with two closings of the prayer, and two after it, and two after the sunset prayer, and two after the night prayer, and two before the dawn prayer. These are the rak'ahs that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) legislated, and He has arranged for them great good.
As for these rak'ahs that came in the hadith of Umar ibn Harun with al-Hakim, you, O female questioner, have known that it is a fabricated and lying hadith. It is not permissible for you to be suffering; rather, be at peace. Fear Allah, watch over your obedience to Allah, act according to the legislation of Allah, and leave behind the whispers and attachment to fabricated, lying, and weak hadiths. In what Allah has legislated is sufficiency and contentment.
As for what people have innovated and what some people have lied about, one must beware of it and hold fast to the religion. It is not a punishment; rather, holding fast to the religion is comfort, it is tranquility, and it is the great, immediate good, and in the Hereafter it is even greater and greater. For the comfort in the Hereafter is the greatest, and it is the great success.
So it is not permissible for you to be suffering; rather, be at peace and be comfortable by doing what Allah has legislated, leaving what Allah has forbidden, and increasing in the remembrance of Allah, His glorification, His exaltation, seeking His forgiveness, and repenting to Him. Be glad with good, and leave behind the whispers and the hesitation that leads you to suffering and fatigue. But open your chest to the religion of Allah and hold fast to the legislation of Allah. Increase in reading the Qur'an, and in the remembrance of Allah, His glorification, His praise, seeking His forgiveness, and repenting to Him. Act according to the acts of worship that Allah has legislated. Be glad with good, and be glad with comfort and happiness in this world and the Hereafter. The happiness and comfort in the Hereafter is greater. May Allah grant me and you uprightness and insight in the religion, along with a good ending.

Twelve rak'ahs that you pray from the night or the day, and you bear witness between every two rak'ahs. So when you bear witness in the last of your prayer, praise Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)
اثنتا عشر ركعة تصليها من الليل أو النهار وتتشهد بين كل ركعتين، فإذا تشهدت في آخر صلاتك فاثن على الله And he said: Ahmad ibn Harb said, “I have tried it and found it to be true.” And Ibrahim ibn Ali al-Dibbi said, “I have tried it and found it to be true.” And Abu Zakariyya said, “I have tried it and found it to be true.” Al-Hakim said, “I have tried it and found it to be true.” It is unique to Amir ibn Khudash, who is a trustworthy and reliable narrator.

من صلّى ثنتي عشر ركعة بنى الله له بيتًا في الجنةFour before the midday prayer and two after it, and two after the sunset prayer, and two after the night prayer, and two before the dawn prayer
أربعًا قبل الظهر وثنتين بعدها، وثنتين بعد المغرب، وثنتين بعد العشاء، وثنتين قبل صلاة الصبحAs for these rak'ahs that came in the hadith of Umar ibn Harun with al-Hakim, you, O female questioner, have known that it is a fabricated and lying hadith.
