Has the narration attributed to Lady ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her) been authenticated—where she describes the radiance of the Prophet’s ﷺ face illuminating the room, and it concludes with the statement that whoever does not send blessings upon him will be deprived of seeing him on the Day of Judgment? And is the accompanying supplication at the end considered valid?

The speaker has conflated several matters. Regarding the one in whose presence the Prophet’s name (peace and blessings be upon him) was mentioned, but who did not invoke blessings upon him, it is authentically reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The miser is he in whose presence I am mentioned, and he does not invoke blessings upon me,” and “May the nose of a man be rubbed in the dust, in whose presence I am mentioned, and he does not invoke blessings upon me.”

As for the story of 'A'isha (may Allah be pleased with her) and the needle and the light of the Prophet’s face (peace and blessings be upon him), it was not narrated by Ahmad nor Tirmidhi, and its chain of narration is weak due to the presence of mudallisun (reporters who obscure the identity of their teachers) and a narrator who transmitted a false report.

As for the prayer: “O Allah, bless the Light of Lights, the Secret of Secrets, and the Antidote for Others,” it is a prayer they call the prayer of Ahmad al-Badawi, and it is not permissible to pray with it due to the exaggeration and excessive praise it contains, both of which are forbidden. Indeed, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade exaggeration and excessive praise, and commanded the Abrahamic prayer which he taught to his companions.
