Summary
The hadith is judged to be authentic (sahih). It is narrated by al-Tirmidhi and al-Tabarani among others, and was graded sahih or hasan by scholars such as al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Hibban, al-Hakim and Ibn Hajar. According to al-Munawi, a person who does not send blessings is stingy towards himself, since he misses Allah's tenfold blessing for each single blessing sent. Some scholars, such as al-Tahawi and al-Halimi, take the hadith as evidence that sending blessings is obligatory whenever the Prophet's name is mentioned.
