To what extent is the supplication of "the end of the year" authentic, which involves praying two rak'ahs at Duha time, then supplicating with: "O Allah, what I have done in this year of that which You have forbidden me from, and I have not repented from it, and You are not pleased with it, and I have forgotten it, but You have not forgotten it, and You have shown forbearance towards me after Your power to punish me, and You have invited me to repentance after my boldness in disobeying You, I ask Your forgiveness, so forgive me by Your grace. And what I have done in it that pleases You and for which You have promised me reward, I ask You, O Allah, O Most Generous, O Lord of Majesty and Honor, to accept it from me, and do not cut off my hope from You, O Most Generous. And may Allah bless our master Muhammad and his family and companions and grant them peace," and repeating it three times a day (Duha, after Zawwal, and before Asr), and is it permissible to act upon it?
Some of this statement appeared in books that do not focus on authenticating hadith, such as Sheikh Kannun's commentary on Al-Banani, and it was not found in the books of Sunnah. Therefore, the correct approach is to avoid it, because "every innovation is misguidance," and goodness lies in following [the Sunnah] and evil in innovating.
