What is the authenticity of the Hadith: "Increase your prayers upon me on the Radiant Night and the Luminous Day"?
The Hadith with the wording: "Increase your prayers upon me on the Radiant Night and the Most Radiant Day, for your prayers are presented to me," is very weak because its chain of narration includes Abd al-Mun'im ibn Bashir al-Ansari, who is accused of fabrication. In another narration, it is reported with the wording: "Increase your prayers upon your Prophet on the Luminous Night and the Most Radiant Day, the night of Friday and the day of Friday." Its chain of narration is very weak due to the presence of Amr ibn Shimr, who is accused of lying and fabricating Hadith.
However, the virtue of sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace be upon him) on Friday has been mentioned in other authentic Hadith, such as the Hadith of Aws ibn Aws, narrated by Abu Dawud, al-Nasa'i, and Ibn Majah, and authenticated by al-Albani, where the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, among the best of your days is Friday: in it Adam was created, in it he died, in it is the blowing of the Horn, and in it is the swoon. So, increase your prayers upon me therein, for your prayers are presented to me."
