The ruling on attributing virtues to every surah of the Qur'an

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a book you recommend regarding what has been reported about the virtues of the surahs? And is there a specific virtue reported for every surah of the Qur'an?

Answer:
No, rather, virtues have been reported for certain verses and certain surahs. As for the claim that every surah and every verse has virtues, nothing of this has been reported. Some people lie; they say it is their opinion because one of the early scholars attributed virtues to every surah. So he was questioned: Where did you get this from?
He said, "By Allah, I saw that people were turning away from the Qur'an, and I wanted to encourage them in the Qur'an, so I became a liar and became known among the people for this, and it became famous for that." This is not permissible. Nothing is to be said or attributed to the Qur'an or to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) except what is established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The Qur'an has virtues reported for some of it, and for some of it, nothing has been reported. However, the virtue of the Qur'an is known, this is known, even if nothing has been reported. But if something is reported, it is in the category of confirmation.
