What is the authenticity of the hadith: “Whoever says: O Allah, I ask You for Paradise”?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I remember the meaning of a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), which is:
Whoever says: O Allah, I ask You for Paradise three times, Paradise says: O Allah, admit him to Paradise. And whoever seeks refuge with Allah from the Fire three times, the Fire says: O Allah, protect him from me.من قال: اللهم إني أسألك الجنة ثلاث مرات، قالت الجنة: اللهم أدخله الجنة، ومن استعاذ بالله من النار ثلاث مرات، قالت النار: اللهم أجره مني
Is this hadith authentic?

Answer:
Yes, this was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (that the servant, if he seeks refuge with Allah from the Fire three times and asks Allah for Paradise three times, Paradise says: O my Lord, admit him to me, and the Fire says: O my Lord, keep him away from me). And in another hadith, which is more authentic and sound, it is stated:
That if he asks seven times... seven times he asks Allah for Paradise and seeks refuge with Allah from the Fire.أنه إذا سأل سبع مرات.. سبع مرات سأل الله الجنة، وتعوذ بالله من النار
Its chain of narration is good and there is no problem with it. As for Paradise saying:
O my Lord, admit him to me, and the Fire says: O my Lord, protect him from me.يا رب أدخله إياي، والنار تقول: يا رب أعذه مني
One should frequently ask Allah for Paradise and seek refuge with Allah from the Fire. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
