The scholars have not discussed the wisdom behind specifying the numbers of the prescribed dhikr (remembrance of Allah). A Muslim should act upon what is established in the Sharia. It is disliked to intentionally exceed the specified number in the prescribed dhikr. As for one who makes a mistake, نقص or adds out of forgetfulness, we hope that they will not be deprived of the reward.
