What is the ruling on the circulating supplication: "Oh Allah, You see him; if You see my father as a sinner, then forgive him; if You see him sad, then gladden his heart; if You see him joyful, then perfect his joy; if he is ill, then, Lord, heal him; if he is troubled, then, Lord, remove his trouble; if he is exhausted, then give him glad tidings of immense reward; and if he is deceased, then have mercy on him and admit him to Your spacious Gardens, O Most Gracious, Most Merciful – Amen, Oh Allah, spread this supplication for the sake of your father"?
This supplication is not authentically reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, nor from any of his Companions. However, there is no harm in supplicating with it if its meaning is good and it does not contain any Shariah-forbidden elements, while still preferring the authentically reported supplications.
