Summary
The ruling states that no authentic hadith was found for the claimed virtue of a gentle death for those who recite Ayat al-Kursi. Other virtues are reported, notably the narration of Abu Umamah that whoever recites it after every obligatory prayer is prevented from entering Paradise only by death. Reciting Ayat al-Kursi after each obligatory prayer is therefore recommended.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
