"trustworthy, but his narrations from Qatādah are weak, and he has errors when narrating from memory." I said: This is not from his narrations from him, but rather from Yūnus al-Aylī, and they mentioned him among his teachers. 4 - Abū Khaythamah is Zuhayr ibn Ḥarb al-Ḥarshī al-Nasāʾī, unanimously considered trustworthy. Al-Ḥāfiẓ said: "a reliable and firm narrator, Muslim narrated more than a thousand ḥadīths from him." In summary, the ḥadīth is authentic without doubt, and any criticism of some of its narrators is minor and does not affect its authenticity—as is apparent—and Allāh knows best. (Benefit): Some people in Damascus and elsewhere have become accustomed to performing the tasbīʿ mentioned in this ḥadīth aloud and in unison after the Fajr prayer. This has no basis in the purified sunnah, and this ḥadīth does not support their practice because it is general, not restricted to the Fajr prayer, nor to a congregation. It is not permissible to restrict what the wise Lawgiver has left unrestricted, just as it is not permissible to make unrestricted what He has restricted, for all of this is legislation that belongs to the All-Knowing, the Wise. Whoever wishes to act upon this ḥadīth should do so at any time of the day or night, before or after prayer. This is pure adherence and sincerity in it. May Allāh grant us that. As for the ḥadīth: "When you pray the morning prayer, say before speaking: 'O Allāh, protect me from the Fire' seven times..." the ḥadīth is weak as verified in "al-Ḍaʿīfah" (1624). Do not be deceived by those who have graded it as good, for it is a scholar's slip, nor by those who have followed them, for they have no knowledge. Then "Musnad Abī Yaʿlá" was printed with verification by brother Ḥusayn Salīm Asad, and he added the ḥadīth of the chapter! And he commented on it:
