What is the most correct and strongest view on the grading of the hadith "من زار قبري وجبت له شفاعتي"?
The "Whoever visits my grave, my intercession becomes due for him" is weak (da'if) and not authentically reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Scholars have mentioned several reasons for its weakness, including:
1. The anonymity (jahalah) of one of its narrators, Musa ibn Hilal.
2. Its narration from Abdullah ibn Umar al-Mukabbir, who is weak in hadith, and not from his trustworthy brother, Ubaydullah.
3. Another narration of the hadith includes Abdullah ibn Ibrahim, who is accused of fabricating hadith, and Abd al-Rahman ibn Zayd, who is abandoned (matruk).
A number of imams have judged this hadith to be weak, denounced (munkar), or fabricated (mawdu'), among them: Ibn Khuzaymah, Al-Bayhaqi, Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, Al-Nawawi, Al-Dhahabi, Ibn Abd al-Hadi, and Al-Albani.
