The ruling on the hadith regarding the virtue of reciting Ayat al-Kursi after every prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is this hadith authentic:
Whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi after every prayer, nothing stands between him and Paradise except deathمن قرأ آية الكرسي عقب كل صلاة، ليس بينه وبين الجنة إلا أن يموت
, and what is the meaning of this hadith?

Answer:
Several hadiths have been reported on this matter, and their combined strength is that it is good (hasan). It is recommended (mustahabb) to recite Ayat al-Kursi after the prayer, following the tasbih:
Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existenceاللَّهُ لا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ
[al-Baqarah: 255]. If he remains steadfast, if he remains steadfast in his religion, and he preserves his religion, entry into Paradise is hoped for him; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
The five prayers, and Al-Jumuah (the Friday prayer) to Al-Jumuah are atonement for what is between them, as long as the major sins have not been committed.الصلوات الخمس والجمعة إلى الجمعة ورمضان إلى رمضان كفارات لما بينهن، ما لم تغش الكبائر
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 214Sahih (Darussalam)
.
In the other wording:
If he avoids major sins.إذا اجتنب الكبائر
So if he guards what Allah has made obligatory upon him, and leaves what Allah has forbidden, and recites Ayat al-Kursi; all of this is among the causes of entering Paradise, if he recites it after every prayer. Yes.
