What is the authenticity of this Hadith: "The Angel of Death looks at you 360 times a day, awaiting a command from Allah to seize your soul," and is it permissible to publish and circulate it?
The , "The Angel of Death looks at the faces of people seventy times every day. When the person to whom he was sent laughs, he says: 'How astonishing! I was sent to take his soul, and he is laughing'," has not been narrated in the books of the people of knowledge. It is a fabricated hadith mentioned by Al-Suyuti in "Jami' Al-Jawami'" and cited by Ibn 'Iraq in "Tanzeeh Al-Shari'ah Al-Marfoo'ah 'an Al-Akhbar Al-Shanee'ah Al-Mawdoo'ah". It is not permissible to disseminate fabricated hadiths without clarifying their weakness, as the one who does so is complicit in lying about the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Therefore, a Muslim must verify the authenticity of hadiths before spreading them.
