Summary
The narration stating that whoever thinks well of a stone will be benefited by it is judged to have no basis and to be fabricated by Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalani, Ibn Taimiyyah and al-Sakhawi. All its chains of transmission contain criticised narrators, such as Abu al-Raja’. The creed of Ahl al-Sunnah wal Jamaah is that creatures have no effect on anything, and only Allah has the power to bring about effects in all that He created.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Riwayat ini tiada asalnya bahkan palsu sebagaimana yang disebutkan oleh al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani, Syeikh Ibn Taimiyyah, al-Sakhawi dan lain-lain.
