To what extent is the hadith authentic: "O Abu Dharr! ... Indeed, Allah Almighty grants you, as long as you are sitting in the mosque, for every breath you take therein, a degree in Paradise, and the angels pray for you, and for every breath you take therein, ten good deeds are written for you, and ten bad deeds are erased from you"? And is it true that for every breath taken in the mosque, there is a good deed?

The aforementioned hadith has not been found in available sources, which suggests its weakness.
