The question

What is the authenticity of the hadith in which Lady Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, is mentioned as having picked up her needle by virtue of the light of the Prophet's face, peace and blessings be upon him, and then the saying of the Prophet is mentioned, "Woe to him who does not see me on the Day of Resurrection," and it is interpreted as "he who, when I am mentioned in his presence, does not invoke blessings upon me"?

The answer

The aforementioned in Kanz al-'Ummal, attributed to Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) regarding seeing the needle by the light of the Prophet's face (peace be upon him), is a weak hadith. This is because it is not found in the books of , Sunan, or Musnad collections, and Ibn Asakir's独家 transmission of it makes it suspect of being fabricated.

The virtue of sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace be upon him) is immense, and it is a means of drawing closer to him on the Day of Judgment, as stated in the hadith: "Indeed, the closest of you to me on the Day of Resurrection will be those who sent the most blessings upon me." And stinginess in sending blessings upon him is among the most severe forms of stinginess, as it came in the hadith: "The miser is he before whom I am mentioned, and he does not send blessings upon me."
