What is the authenticity of the supplication for Saturday, which states: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. In the name of Allah, the word of those who seek refuge, and the saying of those who guard themselves; and I seek refuge in Allah from the injustice of the oppressors, the plots of the envious, and the rebellion of the transgressors, and I praise Him above the praise of those who praise. O Allah, You are the One without a partner, and the King without being granted kingship. You are not opposed in Your judgment, nor contended in Your dominion. I ask You to bless Muhammad, Your servant and messenger, and to inspire me with gratitude for Your blessings, such that it leads me to the utmost of Your satisfaction, and to assist me in obeying You, in adhering to Your worship, and in earning Your reward through the gentleness of Your care. And have mercy on me by diverting me from disobeying You as long as You keep me alive, and grant me success in what benefits me as long as You preserve me. And expand my chest with Your Book, and relieve my burden through its recitation, and grant me safety in my religion and myself, and do not cause my loved ones to feel lonely because of me. And complete Your goodness in what remains of my life, just as You have shown goodness in what has passed of it, O Most Merciful of the merciful"?
It is not known from the Prophet (peace be upon him) nor from the Companions and their Successors that they designated specific days for specific supplications or prayers. Rather, what was known from them were daily remembrances recited every day. Designating a time for lawful worship that the Sharia did not specify falls under forbidden, newly invented innovations, due to his (peace be upon him) saying: "Every innovation is misguidance" and "Whoever does an act for which there is no command from us, it is rejected." Many people overlook the Prophetic Sunnahs and the authentic remembrances from the Prophet (peace be upon him), then they seek out innovations and spread them.
