AL-KAFI #814: BENARKAH FADHILAT MENCIUM ISTERI DAPAT 10 GANJARAN PAHALA
Is it true that touching or kissing one's wife brings a fixed reward, such as ten rewards, ten sins erased and ten levels of elevation?
Short answer
The statement is not authentic if regarded as a hadith, since no sound narration states these specifics.

Summary
The statement is not authentic if regarded as a hadith, since no sound narration states these specifics. Virtues and rewards for an act must rest on established texts, because assigning them without such basis risks speaking about Allah without knowledge. Its general meaning may still be linked to other texts: lawful marital intimacy is rewarded, each good deed is repaid tenfold, and good deeds erase minor sins, though no fixed number of erased sins is stated.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sebagai kesimpulan, kami menyatakan bahawa kenyataan tersebut sekiranya dianggap sebagai sebuah hadis maka ia adalah tidak sahih.
