Is there any virtue in 786
Question
Is there any basis in Islam with regards to the numbers 786 representing Bismillah hir Rahmanir Rahim? Many people say that this is correct but I have not seen any authentic hadiths supporting this claim.
Answer
There is no virtue. It is just a numerical value.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
