Commentary on the Books of the Virtues of the Surahs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some books have appeared, Honorable Shaykh, in our time that prefer these surahs of the Noble Qur'an, and they mention such and such virtues.
Answer:
This is an old matter. Among the fabricators, some ascribed virtues to the surahs that were not reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). They rebuked him for that. When he was asked why he did this, he said: "Because the people turned away from the Qur'an, so I wanted to encourage them in it." This is not permissible. We do not establish except what was reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with a sound chain regarding the virtues of these surahs. Yes.
