What is the authenticity of messages that narrate the healing of a sick person after seeing Lady Zaynab in a dream, and ask for these messages to be sent to others, threatening those who do not comply?
This fabricated leaflet circulates among people, narrating the story of a girl's healing after seeing Lady Zaynab in a dream. Lady Zaynab purportedly asked her to write the story 13 times and distribute it, mentioning illusory benefits for those who comply and dire consequences for those who neglect it. Sheikh Abd al-Aziz ibn Baz, may Allah have mercy on him, warned against this leaflet, affirming that it is a lie and a slander with no basis in truth. He stated that it aims to divert Muslims from relying solely on Allah and encourages polytheism and exaggeration regarding the deceased. A Muslim must tear it up and not promote it, for doing so is a reprehensible act and an innovation (bid'ah). Anyone who cooperates in its propagation has shared in the sin.
