To what extent is the story mentioned about Sufyan al-Thawri and the man who would not lift his foot or put it down except by invoking blessings upon the Prophet—peace and blessings be upon him—authentic, and what is the opinion regarding Umar ibn Sa'id al-Futi and his book "Rumah Hizb al-Rahim," and are the book "Hadith al-Haqa'iq 'an Qadar Sayyid al-Khala'iq" and its author Fawzi Muhammad Abu Zayd considered to be from Ahl al-Sunnah wal Jama'ah?

The story of al-Thawri has not been found in the reliable books of the scholars. Even if it were to have occurred, visions are not a source of rulings, and nothing that contradicts Islamic law can be established through them; this is by the consensus of scholars. The vision included seeking help from the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, which is forbidden by Islamic law. As for the book "Hadith al-Haqa'iq 'an Qadr Sayyid al-Khala'iq" (The Narration of Realities Regarding the Esteem of the Master of Creation), scholars have warned against it due to its inclusion of transmissions from imams of misguidance and the mention of baseless stories. As for al-Futi, he belongs to the innovated Tijaniyya sect.
