How sound is the Hadith: "If a person says 'Subhanallah' (Glory be to Allah), a palm tree is planted for him in Paradise. If he says 'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah), its leaves become angels who seek forgiveness for him from Allah until the Day of Resurrection"?

The authentic hadith mentions the virtue of tasbih (glorifying Allah), stating that it plants a palm tree in Paradise for the one who recites it. As for the hadiths that describe the form of the palm tree or that tasbih creates an angel who seeks forgiveness for its reciter, none of these are authentic. All the narrations mentioned in this regard are either very weak or fabricated.
