IRSYAD AL-HADITH SIRI KE-187: ZIKIR JUMAAT TERAKHIR REJAB
Is it true that reciting "Ahmad Rasulullah, Muhammad Rasulullah" while the preacher is on the pulpit on the last Friday of Rejab ensures one's provision will not be cut off that year?
Short answer
The dhikr is not found in authentic hadith or in reliable hadith collections such as the six canonical books.

Summary
The dhikr is not found in authentic hadith or in reliable hadith collections such as the six canonical books. It is only mentioned in the book Kanz al-Najah wa al-Surur as a practice of Sheikh Ali al-Ujhuri. Practising a dhikr with a sound meaning is not wrong, since the scope of dhikr is broad like supplication, but assigning a specific virtue to it must be supported by evidence from the Quran or authentic hadith.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Walaubagaimanapun, tidak menjadi kesalahan jika seseorang itu ingin mengamalkan sesuatu zikir yang maknanya sahih iaitu tidak bercanggah dengan al-Quran dan hadith kerana di dalam bab ini luas, sama seperti berdoa.
