What is the authenticity of the aforementioned hadith regarding the major signs of the Day of Judgment, and did the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: "Whoever transmits this news from me, I will grant him a place in Paradise on the Day of Judgment"?

The aforementioned hadith is false and fabricated, and signs of fabrication are evident in it. The great reward mentioned for merely transmitting the Hadith is objectionable. Fabricated hadiths are characterized by their weak and insipid wording, and by being cold, reckless exaggerations. The hadith includes some correct matters concerning the signs of the Hour, such as the appearance of the Dajjal and the descent of Jesus, but it also presents errors, such as its statement that the Beast (Dābbah) will place a mark on Muslims, whereas the correct narration states that it will stamp the noses of disbelievers. As for the mention of fog that kills believers, what is authentically established is that a pleasant wind will take the souls of believers, and only the worst of people will remain. As for the fall of seven rulers of states as a sign of the Hour, there is no basis for it. It is obligatory to verify reports attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, before narrating them.
