His litle book called Al Ma'tsurat was a popular book among PKS or KAMMI activists in Indonesia. Some scholars critisized this book because some "doa" or "wirid" have not any "dalil(explanation/proof)" from Al Qur'an and As Sunnah. Some of wirid have a Sahih level at lafadz criterium but characterized as bid'ah from kaifiyyah's view. The sum of wirid have no example from Rasulullah SAW.
Ihsan bin Ayisy Al Utaibi said that Doa Rabithah, "Allahumma innaka ta'lamu anna hadzihil qulub qad ijtama'at 'ala mahabbatika wal taqat 'ala tha'atika wa tawahhadat 'ala da'watika wa taahhadat 'ala nushrati shari'atika fawatsiq Allahumma rabbithha wa addim wuddaha"
which always recited after meeting called as bid'ah sufiyyah originated from tarekat Hashofiyyah. A kind of tharekat in Egypt followed by Al Banna since he young.
So, the ulama reccomended muslimin and muslimat to practice doa and wirid originated from Al Qur'an and Hadits As Sahihah.
