Question:
What is the degree of authenticity of the hadith in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: [Surat al-Ikhlas: 1] , with clarification of whether this thousand times is daily or once in a lifetime? And is it obligatory to recite the basmalah for every surah?
Answer:
I do not know of any basis for this, and it appears to be a fabricated lie. I am not aware of any source for it. This surah is a great surah, equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an. If one repeats it, that is good, but this specific wording and the reward attached to a thousand recitations, we do not know of any basis for that. Yes.
