Summary
In principle, a person who forgets is encouraged to increase remembrance of Allah, based on the general meaning of verse 24 of Surah al-Kahf, including a supplication asking Allah to remind him of what he has forgotten. He may also send blessings upon the Prophet, as there are narrations indicating this, although they are weak. Weak hadith may be acted upon regarding the virtues of deeds, subject to conditions stated by scholars such as Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sebagai penutup, kami menyatakan bahawa pada asasnya seseorang yang terlupa itu hendaklah memperbanyakkan zikrullah berdasarkan keumuman ayat yang ke- 24 dari surah al-Kahfi di atas.
