A response to a question from a person who claims to have Karamahs and Mu`jizahs
Page 221
From `Abdul­`Aziz ibn `Abdullah Ibn Baz to our dear brother, may Allah protect you! May Allah's peace and blessings be with you!
With reference to your letter, dated 25/9/1973 in which you ask for help to be able to come to A l­Madinah Al­Munawwarah, you mentioned a supplication in the letter and said that it is a blessed supplication full of Karamahs (an extraordinary event performed by a pious person) and Mu`jizahs (miracle) which Allah gives to His believing servants. You said that this supplication is extremely revered so that if it is recited on fire, it will be extinguished and if it is recited on flowing water, it will become stagnant.
I would like to inform you that this supplication is not authentically reported in the Hadiths of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and are baseless. Moreover, it includes impermissible kind of Tawassul (supplication for help). However, the lawful Tawassul is to supplicate to Allah (Exalted be He) by His Names. Allah says, And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allâh, so call on Him by them Likewise,
it is to supplicate to Allah with your good deeds, including the most outstanding of which, i.e. the belief of Tawhid (Oneness of Allah). Moreover, you should know that the most useful supplication is that which Allah's Messenger used to recite away from what was innovated by people such as your supplication. It is obligatory to learn the necessary religious knowledge, asking the scholars about what seems difficult for you and keep away from what contradicts the teachings of the Chosen Prophet (peace be upon him).
As for your desire to come to Madinah while you do not have enough money, I advise you to adhere to righteousness wherever you are. Allah does not make offering Hajj obligatory except on the people who have the capacity to offer Hajj. Allah says, And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka'bah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allâh, those who can afford the expenses (for one's conveyance, provision and residence) So, you are excused from it and when you have enough money, you can came to these blessed places, for Allah does not burden someone beyond their scope. May Allah's peace and blessings be upon you!
