Question:
The questioner asks: What is the authenticity of the hadith, “Whoever sends blessings upon me ten times in the morning and ten times in the evening, my intercession is granted to him”?

Answer:
I do not know this specific wording, but sending blessings upon the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is required, and it is among his rights.
Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allah to grant him] peace.عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا
[Al-Ahzab 33:56]
One sends blessings upon the Messenger when he is mentioned, when his mention passes by, one sends blessings upon him in the final tashahhud of the prayer, one sends blessings upon him in the sermons and in the lessons when his mention passes by (peace and blessings be upon him), one sends blessings upon him. As for specifying it as ten or twenty or this, I do not know any evidence for it. Rather, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He who blesses me once, Allah would bless himمن صلى علي واحدة صلى الله عليه
Sahih Muslim 408
ten times, and whatever increases in sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is better, but without a specific limit. Yes.
