The 'A Tentative Guide to Islamic Invocations' is a personal selection of invocations, all of which claim to be from the Prophet Muhammad (Sall Allahu alayhi wa Sallam) or from his immediate Companions. In other words, everything in this collection is a transmitted (ma’thur) invocation. Apart from a single narration (which is traceable to the Tabi‘ al-Tabi‘in Imam Sufyan al-Thawri [97–161 ah/716–778 ce] and who arguably would not have related it without a now-lost chain of transmission to the Prophet (Sall Allahu alayhi wa Sallam), there are no non-transmitted invocations here from any of the great figures of Islamic history and spirituality after the Companions of the Prophet (Sall Allahu alayhi wa Sallam).
