What is the ruling on reciting the prayer called "Al-Azimiyah" aloud and in congregation in the mosque after the five daily prayers, Friday prayer, and funeral prayer, and during the burial of the dead, the text of which is: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. O Allah, I ask You by the light of the Face of Allah, the Exalted, which has filled the corners of the Throne of Allah, the Exalted, and by which the worlds of Allah, the Exalted, were established, to send prayers upon our master Muhammad, the one of great standing, and upon the family of the Prophet of Allah, the Exalted, by the measure of the greatness of the Essence of Allah, the Exalted, in every glance and breath, according to what is in the knowledge of Allah, the Exalted, a perpetual prayer as long as Allah, the Exalted, endures, in glorification of your right, O our master, O Muhammad, O possessor of great character, and grant him and his family similar greetings, and unite me with him as You have united the spirit and the soul, outwardly and inwardly, while awake and asleep, and make him, O Lord, a spirit for my being in all respects, in this world before the Hereafter, O Exalted One"?

Any absolute act of worship in Islamic law may not be particularized to a time, place, number, or description unless it is explicitly stated in the Sacred Law. Any accustomed particularization that people gather for per se transforms the act of worship from a Sunnah (prophetic tradition) to an innovation (bid'ah). An example is the "Salat al-Adhimiyah" (The Grand Prayer), which has no basis in the Sunnah or the narrations, and was not practiced by the Companions or the Successors. Dreams or waking visions, which Satan uses to deceive some Sufi shaykhs, are not sufficient to establish it as a foundation.
