Summary
Scholars differ on the authenticity of the Tasbih prayer hadith. Some weakened it, and Ibn al-Jawzi even considered it fabricated, while Ibn al-Salah, al-Albani and others graded it hasan or sahih. The majority view is that the prayer is sunnah, and it is supported by the Hanafi, Maliki and Shafi'i schools. In the Hanbali school, Imam Ahmad did not regard it as sunnah but Ibn Qudamah held it permissible. As this is a recognised difference of opinion, people are advised to be tolerant and not label those who practise it as innovators.
