How authentic is the Hadith: "Whoever recites 'Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad' (Say: He is Allah, the One and Only) while in a state of ritual purity (tahara) one hundred times, starting with Surat Al-Fatiha, Allah will write for him ten good deeds for every letter, erase ten sins from him, raise him ten degrees, build for him one hundred palaces in Paradise, raise for him on that day a reward equal to the deeds of all human beings, and it will be as if he has recited the Qur'an thirty-three times. It is a purification from polytheism, brings the angels, repels Satan, and makes a resounding noise around the Throne mentioning its reciter until Allah looks upon him. And when Allah looks upon him, He will never punish him"?

The Hadith is fabricated, and was cited by Ibn al-Jawzi, al-Suyuti, and al-Kanani in their books on fabricated Hadiths. Yahya ibn Ma'in and al-Nasa'i described it as weak, and Ibn Hibban as denounced (munkar) in Hadith. None of the narrations mention that the Prophet's deed is raised to him like the deeds of human beings, but rather like the deeds of a Prophet.
