Is this Hadith authentic?
Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) relates that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “One who remains awake [in ‘ibadah] between Zuhr and Asr and Maghrib and Isha, will be forgiven and two angels will intercede for him.”
Answer:
This narration is recorded in At Targhib Fi Fadailil A’amal of Imam Ibn Shahin (rahimahullah).
(At Targhib Fi Fadailil A’amal, Hadith: 81)
Al-Shawkani has quoted ‘Allamah ‘Iraqi (rahimahullah) who has declared one of the narrators unknown (majhul). I could also not locate another narrator in the chain.
(Naylul Awtar, vol. 2 pg. 240)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
