What is the ruling on seeking intercession (tawassul) and protection (tahassun) with the following formula: "I adjure you, O ailment, and evil eye, and envy that exists within me, by the might of Allah's might, and the greatness of Allah's greatness, and the majesty of Allah's majesty, and the power of Allah's power, and the sovereignty of Allah's sovereignty, and by 'there is no god but Allah,' and by what the pen has decreed from Allah, that you depart and exit from my body, and my flesh and blood, and my bones, and from all the organs of my body, and never return, by Allah's permission"?
The wording of the supplication mentioned does not appear to contain any Sharia-related prohibition. However, the story narrated about it is false, and Al-Alusi refuted it, deeming its authenticity from Ibn Al-Mubarak unlikely. It is better to avoid such supplications and instead use those transmitted from the Prophet (peace be upon him) [al-ma’thur].
