Is it permissible to follow a weak Hadith, especially the Hadith narrated concerning the remembrance after bowing (Ruku'): "O Allah, our Lord, to You be praise, filling the heavens, filling the earth, and filling whatever You will of anything thereafter, O You who are worthy of praise and glory, there is none to withhold what You give, and none to give what You withhold, and the might of the mighty will not benefit them against You"?

The aforementioned Hadith is authentic and well-established, and it was narrated by Muslim in his Sahih. After rising from bowing (ruku'), one says: "O Allah, our Lord, to You be praise, filling the heavens, and filling the earth, and filling what is between them, and filling whatever else You wish. You are worthy of praise and glory. There is none to withhold what You give, and none to give what You withhold, and the fortune of the fortunate will not avail him against You." And His saying, "and the fortune of the fortunate will not avail him against You," means that the wealth of the wealthy will not benefit him against You. Rather, what benefits him is his obedience to You and acting upon that which brings him closer to You.
