Question
What is the authenticity of this narration?
“Whoever desires to earn a lot of rewards on the Day of Judgment, let him recite the verse ‘Subhana rabbika …’ when he rises from a gathering.) ”
Answer
This is recorded by Imam Ibn Abi Hatim (rahimahullah) in his Tafsir, with an authentic chain (sahih) that is mursal (broken after the Tabi’i).
[Mursal chains are acceptable according to the Hanafis, Malikis and some Hambalis]
In addition to this chain, it has other supports too which make it suitable for practice.
(See Tafsir ibn Kathir, Surah Saffat, Ayah: 180-182 and Nataijul Afkar, vol. 2, pg. 306)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
