Is it permissible to repeat the verse "Indeed, He is able to bring him back" to request the return of something lost, and is it valid to omit "O servants of this verse" and direct the supplication to Allah alone, and is everything not mentioned by the Messenger of Allah, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, an innovation?
What some people believe, that every verse or surah has a servant (khadim), is among the invalid beliefs. Andخصصing verses and surahs with specific virtues or for fulfilling needs without evidence is an innovation (bid'ah). It is permissible to seek intercession with Allah through the Quran to fulfill needs, as this is a form of seeking intercession through good deeds. This is done by supplicating after reciting the Quran or asking Allah عند the verses of mercy. Some scholars have mentioned that certain parts of the Quran have properties for healing and other benefits, and the experiences of the righteous have proven this. However, one will not benefit from these properties unless their heart is sincere to Allah and they act upon the Quran. Examples of this include reciting specific verses to cure magic, or reciting "Our Lord, surely You will gather mankind on a Day about which there is no doubt. Indeed, Allah does not fail in His promise" and then supplicating to find a lost item.
