Is it true that Jibrail (‘alayhis salam) taught the du’a ‘Ganjul ‘Arsh’ to Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and that whoever recites it no enemy will be able to overcome him?
Answer
I have not come across any such detail about this du’a in the reliable books of Hadith.
My spiritual mentor, Mufti Mahmudul Hasan Gangohi (rahimahullah) writes:
‘There is no authentic (sahih) chain for this [du’a]. The merits that are written for [this du’a] have no basis. Instead of reciting such passages, one should rather engage in Quran recital, sending salutations upon Nabi (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) and istighfar.’

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best
