The Authenticity of Hadiths Regarding the Abundance of Sending Blessings Upon the Prophet

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the authenticity of what has been reported in the hadiths regarding the abundance of sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), such as the statement that if one sends blessings upon him more than a thousand times, he is promised Paradise, and the like? What is the most authentic of what has been reported in this regard?

Answer:
The most authentic of what has been reported in this regard is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)
He who blesses me once, Allah would bless him ten times.من صلى علي واحدة صلى الله عليه بها عشرا
Sahih Muslim 408
This is in agreement with what came in the other evidence from the saying of Allah the Exalted
Whoever comes [on the Day of Judgement] with a good deed will have ten times the like thereof [to his credit]مَن جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا
[Al-An'am 6:160]
As for the counting and the addition of thousands, Allah knows best about that. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
