Ruling on assigning specific dhikr to each day

Question:
The questioner from Jordan says: I constantly make du'a' and read from the book *The Answered Supplication*, which contains daily adhkar that begin as follows: the adhkar for Friday, the adhkar for Saturday. Some of my colleagues told me that this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Is this correct?

Answer:
Regarding the specific assignment, yes, it has no basis. The adhkar for the morning and evening are shared among all days and nights; there is nothing specific to Friday, or specific to this, or specific to that. What is prescribed for the believer is to recite the morning and evening adhkar on all days and nights, as stated in the hadiths from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), along with increasing the remembrance of Allah, tasbih, tahlil, tahmid, takbir, istighfar, and making du'a' between the adhan and the iqamah, in the Fajr prayer, between the adhan and iqamah in the Maghrib prayer, and in the remaining prayers. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So a person makes du'a' between the adhan and the iqamah, and increases the adhkar and supplications in the morning and evening, especially those that are narrated.
One should refer to books of adhkar for the morning and evening, such as *Al-Adhkar* by al-Nawawi, *Al-Targhib wa al-Tarhib* by al-Mundhiri, and my book that I authored on this topic, *Tuhfat al-Akhyar fi Jam'at min al-Ad'iyyah wa al-Adhkar al-Waridah 'an al-Nabi* (A Gift to the Chosen Ones: A Collection of Supplications and Adhkar Narrated from the Prophet) (peace and blessings be upon him), and similar books. Books of hadith in general have dedicated chapters on this. So a person should refer to these books, benefit from them, and recite what is easy for him.
