Question:
Is the hadith of the prayer of tasbih weak? And is it permissible to act upon a weak hadith or not? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The hadith of the prayer of tasbih is a hadith that is not established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The scholars have a long discussion on it, the gist of which is that it is either a fabricated hadith, or it is weak to the point of being extremely weak. Therefore, it is not permissible to act upon it. This is from the perspective of its chain of narration. From the perspective of the description of the prayer mentioned in it, it is a strange description that contradicts the prescribed prayers. Even if this hadith were authentic, it would be an anomalous narration that contradicts what is established in the authentic evidence regarding the description of the prayer and the tashahhud, and it is not acted upon. Yes.
