Which adhkar have a chain of transmission that is certain?
Among Allah's blessings upon His servant is granting him success in obedience and remembrance (), and the servant should be grateful for this blessing. Satan strives to deter the servant from remembrance by casting doubt on the authenticity of the remembrances. The average Muslim is not required to reach the level of (independent scholarly reasoning) in science to distinguish authentic remembrances from weak ones. Rather, it is sufficient for him to adhere to the supplications (awrad) that some scholars have authenticated, and to ask the people of knowledge. It is permissible to act upon a weak hadith concerning the virtues of deeds, provided certain conditions are met: that the act of worship is already recommended by established proofs, and that the hadith is not fabricated or a lie. In summary: One should not fall short in performing the legislated remembrances due to a perception of their weakness. The authentication by some scholars is sufficient, or taking them from reputable hadith books such as "Hisn al-Muslim" or " al-Kalam al-." And if they are weak but not fabricated, it is permissible to act upon them if they encompass rewards for legislated remembrances.
