What is the authenticity of the hadith: “Whoever recites Surat al-Waqi’ah every night will not be afflicted with poverty”?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He who recites sūra al-Waqi'a (Qur’ān, 56) every night will never be afflicted by want.من قرأ سورة الواقعة كل ليلة؛ لم يصب بفاقة أبدًا
Mishkat al-Masabih 2181
What is the meaning of the word (faqah) and is this hadith authentic?

Answer:
We do not know of any authentic chain for this hadith; we do not know of any authentic chain for it, so it is not to be relied upon. However, the Qur'an is not recited for that purpose; it is recited for the sake of understanding the religion and attaining good deeds. This is because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Recite the Qur'an; for it will come as an intercessor for its people on the Day of Resurrectionاقرؤوا القرآن؛ فإنه يأتي شفيعًا لأصحابه يوم القيامة
and he said:
If anyone recites a letter of God’s Book he will be credited with a good deed, and a good deed gets a tenfold rewardمن قرأ حرفًا من القرآن؛ فله به حسنة، والحسنة بعشر أمثالها
Mishkat al-Masabih 2137
So a person recites the Qur'an for the sake of the virtue of recitation and attaining good deeds, not for the sake of attaining worldly matters. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
