Fatwa CenterOne who equates a Sufi book with the Qur'an
Question
Please explain the Qur'an's view about seeing an angel, who would call you by your name and identify himself as a slave of God and order you to follow Dalaail Al-Khayraat, and to bring a witness. What does the Qur'an think of this some Imaams thought this is Qur'an and some thought this is the book of the prayer on the Prophet, peace be upon him. My Lord! All praise is for you as much as your glory and sublime majesty rightly deserve. In the name of Allaah, I believe in Allaah. There is no power or strength except with Allaah.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.
The one who orders people to read 'Dalaail Al-Khayraat' is not an angel but an accursed devil because angels do not enjoin evil and do not disobey Allaah. Ordering someone to read this book is an evil as this book contains exaggerations in religion and Shirk terms and ways of exalting the mention of the Prophet 
which are not authentic. It also contains other innovations.
It is disbelief to consider this book as a Qur'an, because if one does so, he parallels this book which is the words of strayed innovators to the Word of Allaah, we seek refuge in Allaah from this betrayal. If a person relies on this book when exalting the mention of the Prophet is either an ignorant person who needs to be taught and advised with wisdom and soft words, or an innovator. We ask Allaah to guide him.
Allaah knows best.
