Evidence for the Virtue of Reciting Surat al-Kahf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the evidence for the virtue of reciting Surat al-Kahf authentic?

Answer:
It contains weak hadiths. What is preserved is that some of the Companions used to read it on Friday. We do not know of any authentic hadiths stating that it is read on such-and-such a day, or on such-and-such a day. May Allah send blessings upon him.
