Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His third question says: I read in one of the religious books a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in which he said, to the effect that: “Whoever sends blessings upon me on Friday two hundred times, Allah will forgive him the sins of two hundred years.” What is the degree of authenticity of this hadith? And how can the forgiveness be for two hundred years, when a person may not live to that age?
Answer:
We do not know of any source for this report; rather, it appears to be fabricated, a lie attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), with no basis. However, it is authentically reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he encouraged prayer upon him, and he said:Sahih Muslim 408 Some narrations include the addition: As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 64:519, and Allah said: [Al-Ahzab:56] Before that, He the Exalted said: [Al-Ahzab:56] And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 408 This is the Sunnah, whereas this report has no basis. Yes.

He who blesses me once, Allah would bless him ten times.
من صلى علي واحدة صلى الله عليه بها عشرًاAllah will record for him ten good deeds and erase from him ten bad deeds
كتب الله له عشر حسنات، ومحا عنه عشر سيئاتO you who have believed, ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allah to grant him] peace.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًاIndeed, 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.
