What is the authenticity of the hadith: "Whoever invokes blessings upon me once, Allah will invoke blessings upon him ten times. And whoever invokes blessings upon me ten times, Allah will invoke blessings upon him one hundred times. And whoever invokes blessings upon me one hundred times, Allah will invoke blessings upon him one thousand times. And whoever invokes blessings upon me one thousand times, Allah will forbid his body from the Fire, and will make him steadfast with the firm word in the worldly life and in the Hereafter at the time of questioning, and will admit him into Paradise. And his invocation of blessings upon me will come to him as light on the Day of Resurrection on the Sirat, a distance of five hundred years. And Allah will grant him for every blessing he invoked a palace in Paradise, whether little or much"?

As for what has been reported regarding sending Salah upon the Prophet ten times, or a hundred times, or a thousand times, and the rewards that result from that, none of it has been authentically established.
