What is the authenticity of the daily supplications known as "Saturday's Supplication," "Sunday's Supplication," and so on, up to "Friday's Supplication," such as the full text of Sunday's Supplication: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. In the name of Allah, the word of those who seek refuge, and the declaration of those who are cautious. I seek refuge in Allah Almighty from the injustice of the unjust, the cunning of the envious, and the oppression of the tyrants. And I praise Him above the praise of those who praise. O Allah, You are the One without a partner, and the King without being granted dominion. There is no opposition in Your judgment, and no dispute in Your dominion. I ask You to bless Muhammad, Your servant and messenger, and to inspire me with gratitude for Your blessings to the extent that it leads me to the utmost of Your pleasure, and to assist me in obeying You, adhering to Your worship, and deserving Your reward through Your gentle care. And have mercy on me by keeping me away from Your disobedience as long as You keep me alive, and grant me success in what benefits me as long as You preserve me, and to expand my chest with Your Book, and to remove my burden through its recitation, and to grant me safety in my religion and myself, and not to make my beloved ones feel lonely by my absence, and to perfect Your beneficence in the remainder of my life as You have perfected it in what has passed of it, O Most Merciful of the merciful"? Are they authentically transmitted from the Prophet, peace be upon him, and what is the ruling on supplicating with them and disseminating them?

This supplication has not been authentically reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Nor has it been narrated in the Sunnah that specific supplications are designated for each day of the week. Therefore, singling out a particular day with a specific remembrance is not supported by the Sunnah, and believing it to be a recommended act is considered an innovation. It is not permissible to propagate it or guide others to it.
