Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from Kuwait also says: I read this in this book: that a person must increase the sending of blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on this day, Friday. It was narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "Whoever sends blessings upon me on Friday eighty times, Allah will forgive him the sins of eighty years." Is this hadith authentic?
Answer:
I do not know of any basis for it, but in the authentic hadith:Sunan Abi Dawud 1531Sahih (Al-Albani), it was said: O Messenger of Allah! How do we send blessings upon you when you have passed away—meaning: when you have died? He said: Sunan Ibn Majah 1637Da’if (Darussalam) It is recommended to increase the sending of blessings and peace upon the Prophet on Friday. This is prescribed, and at all times, but on Friday specifically, it is recommended to increase the sending of blessings upon him and peace upon him. It is recommended at all times—(peace and blessings be upon him)—because Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: [Al-Ahzab: 56], and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 408 Yes.

Answer:
I do not know of any basis for it, but in the authentic hadith:
Among the most excellent of your days is Friday; so invoke many blessings on me on that day
إن خير أيامكم يوم الجمعة؛ فأكثروا علي من الصلاة فيهfor Allah has forbidden the earth to consume the bodies of the Prophets
إن الله حرم على الأرض أن تأكل أجساد الأنبياءIndeed, 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.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًاHe who blesses me once, Allah would bless him ten times.
من صلى علي واحدة صلى الله عليه بها عشرًا
