Summary
This hadith is graded as munkar, meaning severely weak. Al-Sakhawi relayed his teacher's verdict that it is munkar, and its chain includes Hatim bin Maimun, of whom al-Bukhari said he narrated munkar reports. Even so, sending blessings upon the Prophet frequently remains encouraged, especially on Fridays, based on a hadith reported by Abu Daud.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
