Is the supplication "The angels are unable to finish writing the good deeds of its reciter for a year" authentic?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The mentioned supplication: "There is no god but Allah, as many times as there was, and as many times as there will be, and as many times as there are movements and stillness..." has no basis. It is among the innovated and fabricated supplications and remembrances that are widely spread. Such words are an invention of later generations, and they attribute to the noble guardian angels what is unfitting for them, as Allah Almighty said: "And indeed, there are over you guardians, noble scribes, who know what you do."
