To what extent is the hadith sound, narrated on the authority of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, concerning the supplication of Abu Dharr al-Ghifari, which the angels mention in heaven, and Jibril's recommendation regarding it?
In summary, the supplication was narrated by al-Tirmidhi al-Hakim in "Nawadir al-Usul" and by al-Daylami in "Musnad al-Firdaws" from Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). It was also narrated by Ibn Abi Shaybah from Mu'awiyah ibn Qurrah from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) with a similar wording. These books are prone to weakness, and no ruling from the scholars of hadith has been found regarding this particular hadith.
