Warning against the book al-Du‘aa’ al-Mustajaab and its hadeeths

Firstly: 

If what is
meant is the du‘a that is published widely in many chatrooms and on many
websites under the name “al-du‘a al-mustajaab”, which is attributed to a
report that says that ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab and ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah
be pleased with them) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of
Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever offers supplications calling upon Allah by
these names, He will answer his supplication: ‘O Allah, You are the Ever
Living Who never dies, the Creator Who never is overcome, the All-Seeing Who
is never in doubt, the All-Hearing Who is never uncertain, the Truthful One
Who never lies…’”… to the end of the lengthy hadeeth (prophetic narration): 

This is a
fabricated du‘a that is falsely attributed to the Messenger of Allah (peace
and blessings Allah be upon him) and there is no saheeh (authentic) hadeeth
that speaks of its virtue. It is not permissible for any Muslim to transmit
it on the basis of it being a hadeeth from the Messenger of Allah (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him). We have previously discussed this in detail
on our website, in the answer to question no.

Secondly, 

If what
this sister is referring to is the book which is called ad-Du‘a al-Mustajab,
it is also an unreliable book which includes many fabricated hadeeths and a
number of things that are contrary to sharee‘ah (Islamic teachings), hence
the scholars have warned people against it. 

In Fatawa
al-Lajnah ad-Da’imah (2/449) it says: 

This book
– ad-Du‘a al-Mustajab – cannot be relied upon because it contains a large
number of weak (da‘eef) and fabricated (mawdoo‘) hadeeths. End quote. 

‘Abd
al-‘Azeez ibn ‘Abdullah ibn Baz, ‘Abd ar-Razzaq ‘Afeefi, ‘Abdullah ibn
Ghadyan, ‘Abdullah ibn Qa‘ood. 

Shaykh Ibn
Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) said: 

It is a
book that cannot be relied upon and its author is not a scholar. Hence we
have been drawing attention to this for a long time and we have stated that
this book cannot be relied upon. Readers should be alerted to the fact that
it cannot be relied upon because of what it contains of weak and fabricated
hadeeths. 

Fatawa Ibn
Baz, 26/354-355 

Shaykh
Salih al-Fawzan (may Allah preserve him) said: 

There is a
book that is widely circulated among people today and is available in
bookstores. It is called ad-Du‘a al-Mustajab, by Muhammad ‘Abd al-Jawad. It
is a book of myths which includes innovated Sufi du‘as and dhikrs (words of
remembrance) which are quoted without any evidence for them from the Quran
and Sunnah. Its title is an audacious statement about Allah, may He be
glorified and exalted, because the book is called ad-Du‘a al-Mustajab (the
supplication that is answered). But who is the one who told him that this
supplication is answered? What evidence is there for this, except that he
wanted to attract the attention of the common folk and deceive them with
this fabricated book. I refer the reader to some trustworthy books of du‘aas
and dhikrs that were written by leading, trustworthy Sunni scholars: 

1.    
al-Wabil as-Sayyib by al-‘Allamah ibn al-Qayyim

2.    
al-Kalim at-Tayyib by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah

3.    
al-Adhkar by al-Imam an-Nawawi 

These
books do not contain any innovated dhikrs; they contain dhikrs narrated in
the Quran and Sunnah. They are sufficient and there is no need for books of
myths written by jokers, praise be to Allah. 

End quote
from Majmoo‘ Fatawa Fadeelat ash-Shaykh Salih ibn Fawzan, 2/697 

You could
also refer to what is quoted on our website in the answer to question no.

13506,
where we discussed the conditions of du‘a being answered and the means of
having one’s supplication accepted by Allah, may He be exalted. 

And Allah
knows best.
