The answer

The that states: "Prayer upon me is a light on the Sirat. Whoever prays upon me eighty times on Friday, his sins of eighty years will be forgiven," is very weak. Its (chain of narration) includes three weak narrators: Ali ibn Zayd ibn Jad'an, Hajjaj ibn Sinan, and Awn ibn Ammarah. A number of imams have declared it weak. It has a supporting narration from the hadith of Anas, which is also very weak due to a defect in it, and signs of fabrication are apparent on it. The authentic hadiths suffice us from such as this, like his (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever prays upon me once, Allah will pray upon him ten times."
