Is it permissible to say: "Invoke blessings upon him who wept longing to see us"? And is it permissible to say: "There is no servant who says: 'Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, much, good, blessed praise,' except that Allah diverts from him seventy types of affliction, the least of which is worry"? And is the saying: "Allah is sufficient for us; He will give us of His bounty; indeed, to Allah we are supplicants," considered the supplication of miracles? And what can we do regarding the spread of such sayings via social media, and are we sinful if we do not advise those who propagate them?

As for the saying: "Send blessings upon him who wept longing to see us," there is no evidence that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, wept longing for those among his Ummah whom he had not seen, and one must refrain from propagating this statement.

As for the saying: "There is no servant who says: 'All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, much, good, blessed praise,' except that Allah averts from him seventy types of affliction, the least of which is worry," no origin has been found for it, and it is not sound.

As for the claim that: "Allah is sufficient for us; Allah will give us of His bounty, and to Allah alone we eagerly turn" is the supplication of miracles, there is no evidence for this, nor for this verse being connected to being a supplication of miracles.

The believer should ascertain the authenticity of supplications before disseminating them, and should advise those who spread weak supplications. This falls under the category of enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, which is a communal obligation (fard kifayah) and becomes an individual obligation in certain circumstances.
