What is the authenticity of the hadith: “Whoever recites {Say: He is Allah, the One} a thousand times”?

Question:
This questioner is from Syria, Basil Abu Ali. He says in this question: I am inquiring about the meaning of this hadith, and is it authentic?
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: [al-Ikhlas:1] a thousand times, or eleven thousand times, then he has bought his soul from Allah the Exalted. What is the authenticity of this hadith?

Answer:
I do not know of any source for it, I do not know of any source for it, and it appears to be fabricated. However, this surah is great; it equals one-third of the Qur'an. If one increases its recitation, that is a great good, provided it is done with reflection and understanding. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that it equals one-third of the Qur'an, and it is Surah al-Ikhlas. Therefore, increasing its recitation is a required matter.
As for this hadith that it equals such and such, I do not know of any source for it. It is known that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that it equals one-third of the Qur'an. Yes.
