What is the authenticity of the hadith: "Whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi after ablution, forty degrees will be raised for him, and for every letter an angel will be created to seek forgiveness for him until the Day of Resurrection, and a thousand worldly misfortunes and a thousand misfortunes in the Hereafter will be averted from him"?

This is false and fabricated, its chain of narration () is forged, and Muqatil ibn Sulayman is a well-known liar. Likewise, the hadith narrated from Abu Ja'far al-Baqir has a corrupt isnad, and 'Amr ibn Abi al-Miqdam is a corrupt Rafidi who narrates fabrications. Furthermore, the text (matn) is false, and the statement that the Qur'an is created is false; the Qur'an is the uncreated speech of Allah. The authentic hadiths regarding the virtue of Ayat al-Kursi suffice, rendering these fabrications unnecessary.
