Is it permissible to supplicate with the aforementioned formula for protection from all evil: "In the name of Allah is our door, blessed are our walls, Ya-Sin is our roof, Kaf-Ha-Ya-’Ain-Sad is our sufficiency, Ha-Mim-’Ain-Sin-Qaf is our protection, 'So Allah will suffice you against them, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing,' the veil of the Throne is cast over us, and the eye of Allah is watching over us, by the power of Allah no one can overpower us, 'And Allah encompasses them from behind. Rather, it is a glorious Qur'an,' 'For Allah is the best guardian, and He is the most merciful of those who show mercy'"?
This style of supplication (du'a) was not known to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, nor to his noble Companions, nor to the righteous predecessors. It is feared that it may involve a form of transgression in supplication. The Companions considered excessive, unnecessary speech as transgression, as reported from Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas and Ibn Mughaffal in their prohibition of detailed supplications, and that it is better to confine oneself to asking for Paradise and seeking refuge from Hellfire. Adherence to the prescribed supplications (du'a ma'thur) is recommended.
