What is the authenticity of the hadith: "O Ali, do not sleep before doing five things: giving charity of four thousand dinars, reconciling between two people, freeing ten slaves, performing the Hajj, and ختم القرآن (reciting the entire Qur'an)"?
The circulating hadith: "O Ali, do not sleep until you have done certain things: recited the entire Qur’an, given 4,000 dirhams in charity, visited the Kaaba, reserved your place in Paradise, and appeased your adversaries" has no basis. Rather, it is one of the fabricated, false hadiths made up by some misguided sects. The imams of hadith have warned against it.
