Summary
The hadith on sending blessings 80 times on Friday to erase 80 years of sins has two chains, from Abu Hurairah and from Anas bin Malik. Both chains contain problematic narrators who are abandoned, weak or unreliable, so the hadith is graded very weak and cannot be strengthened. Even so, increasing blessings upon the Prophet on Friday remains encouraged based on a sound hadith in Abu Daud narrated by Aus bin Aus.
