The Ruling on Prayers and Tasbih in Large Numbers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Also in his question, he says: What is the ruling on what they mention regarding the "fiery prayers" and tasbih in large numbers, and reciting the Qur'an?
Answer: I do not know the "fiery prayers," but they must be checked against the Book and the Sunnah. If the prayer conforms to the prayer that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came with, it is accepted. A person prays as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed, in the obligatory and voluntary prayers. As for a prayer that has additional attributes or conditions beyond what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did, called for, and legislated for the Ummah, it is not accepted.
And all tasbih is good if it conforms to the Shari'ah: Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar, and La hawla wa la quwwata illa bi-Allah, even if it is much, even if he says thousands of times. Or Subhan Allah wa bi-hamdihi, Subhan Allah al-Azim, or La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lah al-mulk wa lah al-hamd wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir. It is recommended to increase in this. Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) says:
O you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembranceيَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ ذِكْرًا كَثِيرًا
[Al-Ahzab: 41]. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The individuals have preceded. It was said: O Messenger of Allah! Who are the individuals? He said: Those who remember Allah much, both men and women.سبق المفردون، قيل: يا رسول الله! ما المفردون؟ قال: الذاكرون الله كثيراً والذاكرات
Sahih Ibn Hibban 7:253
Muslim narrated it in his Sahih.
So increasing in the remembrance of Allah is a required matter if it is in the manner prescribed by the Shari'ah. As for remembrance that is bound by restrictions or... a specific method other than what came from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), this is not accepted and becomes a religious innovation. It is necessary that the dhikr be as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) brought it, and in the Muhammadan way that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) explained for his Ummah. Likewise, the adhkar after the prayers are performed as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained them, and in the way that he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do and teach his Ummah after the prayers. And everything that contradicts what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did and what he legislated for the Ummah is discarded. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
