The Virtue of Surat al-Ikhlas
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I heard a hadith that one of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to recite Surat al-Ikhlas while standing, walking, and riding. When he died, Jibril descended with several angels. Is this hadith authentic, and was it narrated by al-Bayhaqi?
Answer:
I do not know of any source for it, but the surah[Al-Ikhlas 112:1] is a great surah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said about it: Sahih Muslim 812a (peace and blessings be upon him). So it is a great surah. As you heard, it is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite it in the two rak'ahs of Fajr, in the second rak'ah of the Fajr sunnah, in the second rak'ah of the Maghrib sunnah, and in the second rak'ah of the tawaf sunnah. So it is a great surah, and it is Surat al-Ikhlas. Yes.
