ANSWER

Wa ‘alaykum Salām Warahmatullāh Wabarakātuh.

Alhamdulillāh, āmīn to the du’ā.

The wording to which you refer has come in the Qur’ān, in Sūratu Al-Kahf, where Allāh was referring to the Ya’jūj and the Ma’jūj, He said:

وتركنا بعضهم يومئذ يموج في بعض ونفخ في الصور فجمعناهم جمعا

” And on that Day [they will come out], We shall leave them to surge like waves on one another, and the Trumpet will be blown, and We shall collect them all together”

There is nothing in the Sunnah or in the doings of our predecessors to suggest that there is any special significance to the use of the wording as a form of du’ā of tawassul, except that which is recorded in the books of some Shi’ite Scholars where it is mentioned that it can be used as a tawassul for a girl to get a husband/suitor, and included in Love Potions.

See: “At-Tuhfatu Ar-Ridawiyyah Fī Mujarribāt Al-Imāmiyyah”

We have seen some Sūfis follow suit in this. And this is abhorrent.

We draw the attention of the questioner and to all our Muslim brothers and sisters, to avoid such kinds of requirements from the people of misguidance and to stick to that which has come from the Rasūl – salallāhu alayhi wasallam – his Sahābah and the Pious Predecessors.

We ask Allah for guidance and Tawfīq, āmīn.

Bārakallāhu fīkum
Jazākumullāhu Khayran
