The ruling on the hadith that light is illuminated for the reader of al-Kahf on Friday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May I ask, if Allah wills, Shaykh? Shaykh, I am calling you from Riyadh, Shaykh. I have three questions, Shaykh. Regarding the hadith that whoever reads Surat al-Kahf on Friday, light is illuminated for him between the two Fridays, what does that mean, Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
Fine, fine, fine.
The questioner:
The hadith is weak. Fine. Is there any established virtue for Surat al-Kahf on Friday? Is there anything established regarding the virtue of reading Surat al-Kahf on Friday?
The Shaykh:
Some of the Companions used to read it. Good, you read it well.
The questioner:
Is there anything established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding it?
The Shaykh:
The Companions used to read it?
The questioner:
But is there anything established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
The Shaykh:
Nothing is established from him, except the action of some of the Companions, Abu Sa'id al-Ghifari, and Abu 'Ali ibn 'Umar also, yes.
The questioner:
Meaning, nothing authentic is established regarding it that is traced to the Prophet, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
There is nothing on it, there is nothing on it. May Allah guide you.
