Are the phrases "My God, Your servant is at Your door, Your poor one is at Your door, Your destitute one is at Your door, Your beggar is at Your door, Your humble one is at Your door, Your weak one is at Your door, Your guest is at Your door, O Lord of the Worlds" narrated from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in supplication? Is it permissible to use them? If the answer is yes, what is the evidence?
The supplication "Your slaves are at Your gate, Your destitute one is at Your gate, Your poor one is at Your gate, Your beggar is at Your gate" has no origin from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and it is impermissible to attribute it to him. The most that has been reported concerning this is the supplication of Tawus when he heard it from Ali ibn al-Husayn in his prostration. This supplication should not be taken as a fixed regular litany, but there is no harm in supplicating with it inwardly, as its meaning is sound, and the door to supplication is wide, so long as it does not involve aggression, a violation of the Sharia, or a false meaning.
