An unauthentic virtue of reciting Surah Najm

Question:

Is this Hadith authentic?

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Whoever recites Surah Najm (Surah: 53), Allah will give him ten good deeds, for each person who believed in Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and denied him in Makkah.”

Answer:

This narration is part of the lengthy fabricated Hadith which mentions a virtue of reciting the various Surahs of the Quran.

The Muhaddithun have declared this narration a fabrication. The Hadith is not suitable to quote.

(Tafsir Zamakhshari, end of Surah Ahzab, Al Kafish Shaf, pg. 233, Hadith: 912)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
