Context

We relate in the Sunan of Abū Dāwūd, with a good isnād which he did not consider weak, that Anas Honorific symbol reported that the Messenger of Allah Honorific symbol said: “Whenever a person says in the morning or the evening: O Allah, I have arisen calling on You to witness and calling on the bearers of Your Throne and Your angels and all of Your Creation to witness that You are Allah, there is no god but You, and Muḥammad is Your slave and Messenger, Allah will liberate one quarter of him from Hell-Fire. If he says it twice, Allah will liberate half of him from Hell-Fire. If he says it thrice, Allah will free three quarters of him from Hell-Fire. It he says it four times Allah will liberate all of him from Hell-Fire.” [18].

Ibn Ḥajar states that the description of this chain as good (jayyid) needs to be reassessed. Abū Dāwūd does not mention it, perhaps because it was reported via another route from Anas. For this reason I describe it as ḥasan.
