What is the authenticity of the Hadith: "Whoever enters the marketplace and says: 'None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and praise. He gives life and causes death, and He is the Living, who does not die. In His hand is all good, and He is over all things competent,' Allah will record for him a million good deeds, erase from him a million bad deeds, and raise him a million degrees"? And is it true that reciting the aforementioned supplication ten times after Fajr raises one ten degrees in Paradise? And are there a million degrees in Paradise?
The hadith about the supplication for entering the marketplace is weak and inauthentic. The dhikr after Fajr prayer, narrated by Abu Dharr, has a disputed authenticity, and its chain of narration revolves around Shahr b. Hawshab, whom researchers consider to be prone to illusions and errors in his narrations. Al-Albani initially declared the hadith weak but later graded it as hasan (good) due to supporting narrations. As for the levels of Paradise, their number is not limited; they are either innumerable or correspond to the number of verses in the Qur'an.
