Ruling on saying: (Ya Latif) one hundred times after the prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His second question: I entered one of the mosques to perform the Friday prayer, and after the end of the prayer and the recitation of the Baqiyat al-Salihat, I heard the imam say: Ya Latif, and the worshippers began to say it. I asked my neighbor, and he said to me: Say it one hundred times, and listen to the sound of "Ameen" from the pillars of the mosque, which the worshippers repeat. Is there any evidence for saying: Ya Latif after the Baqiyat al-Salihat? And what is the ruling?
May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
We do not know of any evidence for this; rather, it is one of the religious innovations that people have introduced, namely saying: Ya Latif, one hundred times, or ten times, or less or more, in a fixed manner after every prayer. This has no basis; rather, it is a religious innovation.
As for if he says it incidentally when he stands up: Ya Latif, be merciful to us, or: Ya Latif, forgive me, or Ya Rahman, forgive me, incidentally, something that is not customary, but rather when he stands up, or while he is walking, or while he is remembering Allah, there is nothing wrong with this.
As for making this a habit, saying it after every prayer, or saying it he and the congregation after every prayer, ten times in the regular voluntary prayer, or one hundred times, or more or less, this has no basis. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the authentic hadith:
He who did any act for which there is no sanction from our behalf, that is to be rejected.من عمل عملًا ليس عليه أمرنا فهو رد
Sahih Muslim 1718b
meaning: so it is rejected. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
