Question:
I read this hadith in some books, so what is its status regarding authenticity and acting upon it? The hadith is: It was narrated by Ibn Ghazi, and its chain is acceptable; it was also narrated by Ibn Shahin and Ibn Bashkwal?
Answer:
I do not know of any source for it, and these books narrate both the worthless and the valuable, the fabricated and the authentic; they are not to be relied upon. However, if the manuscript copy is reliable and the chain is authentic, then it is not to be rejected. Sending blessings upon the Prophet is among the best of the means of drawing near to Allah, even if it is less than a thousand times, or even just once:Sahih Muslim 408.
Sending blessings upon him is among the causes of the life of the hearts and among the causes of happiness in this world and the Hereafter. However, I do not know of any source for this specific wording, and I do not think it is anything but fabricated.
