3. Performing dhikr with that for which there is no naṣṣ
(stipulation, proof)/dalā√il, whether it be an enunciation or

saying, or performing dhikr on the basis of a ḍafiif (weak) ḥadīth
or one that is mauḍufi (false).

For example:

- After taslīm read: “Alḥamdulillāh”.
- To read Sūrah Al Fātiḥah after taslīm.

- To read the last few āyāt of Sūrah Al Ḥashr and others.

4. To count dhikr by using ‘Tasbīḥ beads’ or something similar to
them. There is not one single ṣaḥīḥḥadīth about counting dhikr

by means of ‘Tasbīḥ beads’, and moreover what is similar to it
is mauāufi (false). Shaikh al √Albānī ﷲا ﻪﲪر states: “Performing
331
dhikr with ‘Tasbīḥ beads’ is bidfiah”.
332

Shaikh Bakr Abū Zaid states that the performance of dhikr
by using ‘Tasbīḥ beads’ resembles the Jews, Christians, Buddhists,

333
and these acts are bidfiah ḍalālah (deviated innovations).

That which is sunnah within the performance of dhikr is by

means of using the fingers of the hand:

331 Refer to Silsilah al Aḥādīth aḍ-Ḍa√īfah wa’l Mauḍūfiah no. 83 and 1002.
332 Silsilah al Aḥādīth aḍ-Ḍafiīfah I/185.
333 As-Subḥah Tārīkhuhā wa Ḥukmuhā p. 101, Ist edition Dārul fiAṣimah, 1419 H – Shaikh Bakr bin
fiAbdullāhAbū Zaid.
