Are these Hadiths authentic: 1. "The virtue of prayer with a Miswak over prayer without a Miswak is seventyfold"? 2. "Whoever performs Wudu while already in a state of purity, ten good deeds will be recorded for him"? 3. "Whoever recites Surat Ad-Dukhan on a night, seventy thousand angels will seek forgiveness for him in the morning"? 4. "Whoever recites Yasin on a night, seeking the countenance of Allah, will be forgiven"? 5. "Whoever says 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, Alone, without partner, One, the Self-Sufficient Master, He begets not, nor is He begotten; and there is none co-equal or comparable to Him,' Allah will record for him two million good deeds"?

We have previously explained the weakness of the first four hadiths in earlier fatwas. As for the fifth hadith, it was narrated by Abd ibn Humayd, Abu Ya'la, Al-Tabarani, Al-Khallal, Ibn Mani', and Ibn Al-A'rabi, and it revolves around Fa'id ibn Al-Attar, who is weak. Their narration states: "Whoever says 'La ilaha illallah' eleven times..." Imam Ahmad narrated it from Qatadah: "Whoever says: 'La ilaha illallah, Wahid, Ahad, Samad, Who has not taken a wife or a son, and there is none comparable to Him,' eleven times, forty million good deeds will be written for him." Al-Tirmidhi weakened this hadith and quoted Al-Bukhari's weakening of Khalil ibn Murrah, one of the narrators in its chain.
