حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ الْخَلِيلِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنِ الأَزْهَرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ تَمِيمٍ الدَّارِيِّ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ " مَنْ قَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ إِلَهًا وَاحِدًا أَحَدًا صَمَدًا لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَلاَ وَلَدًا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ أَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ حَسَنَةٍ " . قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ . وَالْخَلِيلُ بْنُ مُرَّةَ لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ عِنْدَ أَصْحَابِ الْحَدِيثِ . قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ هُوَ مُنْكَرُ الْحَدِيثِ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Qutaybah ibn Sa‘id narrated to us; al-Layth narrated to us, from al-Khalil ibn Murrah, from al-Azhar ibn ‘Abdullah, from Tamim al-Dari, from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: ‘Whoever says ten times, “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, without partner; the One God, the Unique, the Self-Sufficient, who has taken neither consort nor child, and for whom there is no equal,” Allah will record for him forty million good deeds.’ He said: ‘This is a gharib hadith; we know it only through this route. Al-Khalil ibn Murrah is not considered strong by hadith scholars. Muhammad ibn Isma‘il said: “He is munkar al-hadith.”’

وَالْخَلِيلُ بْنُ مُرَّةَ لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ عِنْدَ أَصْحَابِ الْحَدِيثِ . قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ هُوَ مُنْكَرُ الْحَدِيثِ
The source includes a negative transmitter assessment following the report; it is attributed to the compiler and Muhammad ibn Isma‘il, not added to the hadith wording.
Should the transmitted grading and narrator criticism remain distinguished from the prophetic report?
