Supplicating while reading from a supplication book

Q 2: What is the ruling on reciting all the morning and evening supplications confirmed from the Prophet (peace be upon him)? A Muslim can depend on any authentic booklet of supplications such as "Hisn Al-Muslim" or "Sahih Al-Kalim Al-Tayyib" and recite all the supplications mentioned in it during the morning for example, and they are more than 20 supported by Hadith.


(Part No. 24; Page No. 229)  A: It is desirable to remember Allah morning and evening, as Allah (Exalted be He) states: ...and glorify (Him) in the afternoon and in the morning. All the supplications confirmed from the Prophet (peace be upon him) are lawful for a Muslim to recite, not collectively but individually. Moreover, when Fatimah and `Aly asked for a servant, the Prophet (peace be upon him) advised them to recite this supplication before going to sleep, "Shall I guide you to something better than what you have requested? When you go to bed (or before you sleep) say ‘Subhan Allah (Glorified be Allah)’ thirty-three times, ‘Alhamdulillah (All praise be to Allah)’ thirty three times, and ‘Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest)’ thirty four times, for that is better for you than having a servant." (Agreed upon by Al-Bukhari and Muslim).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
