Carrying out three deeds to receive the reward of a martyr?

Is this authentic?

Whoever does the following deeds, will receive the reward of a martyr:

  1. Reads Salatud Duha
  2. Fasts 3 days every month
  3. Is punctual and habitual on witr Salah, whether on travel or not

Answer:

Imam Tabarani (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhuma).

(Al Mu’jamul Kabir, Hadith: 13707)

However, ‘Allamah Mundhiri (rahimahullah) has declared the text of the Hadith unreliable (fihi nakarah). The Hadith should not be quoted.

(Targhib, vol. 1 pg. 407)

There are other authentic virtues for carrying out the deeds mentioned in the Hadith in question. These should be quoted instead.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
