There are saheeh ahaadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) concerning the virtues of reciting Soorat al-Kahf during the day or night of Jumu’ah (Friday). These include:
(a) From Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri, who said: “Whoever reads Soorat al-Kahf on the night of Jumu’ah, will have a light that will stretch between him and the Ancient House (the Ka’bah).”
(Narrated by al-Daarimi, 3407. This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami, 6471)
(b) “Whoever reads Soorat al-Kahf on the day of Jumu’ah, will have a light that will shine from him from one Friday to the next.”
(Narrated by al-Haakim, 2/399; al-Bayhaqi, 3/249. Ibn Hajar said in Takhreej al-Adhkaar that this is a hasan hadeeth, and he said, this is the strongest report that has been narrated concerning reading Soorat al-Kahf. See: Fayd al-Qadeer, 6/198. It was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 6470)
The soorah may be read during the night or the day of Jumu’ah. The night of Jumu’ah starts from sunset on Thursday, and the day of Jumu’ah ends at sunset. Therefore the time for reading this soorah extends from sunset on Thursday to sunset on Friday.
Al-Mannaawi said:
Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar said in his Amaali: “In some reports it says ‘the day of Jumu’ah’ and in some reports it says ‘the night of Jumu’ah’. They may be reconciled by saying that what is meant is the day which includes the night and vice versa.” (Fayd al-Qadeer, 6/199)
Al-Mannaawi also said: “It is recommended to read it during the day or night of Jumu’ah, as al-Shaafa'i (may Allaah have mercy on him) stated.” (Fayd al-Qadeer, 6/198)
And verily for everything that a slave loses there is a substitute, but the one who loses Allah will never find anything to replace Him.” [Related by Ibn al-Qayyim in ad-Dâ' wad-Dawâ Fasl 49]
Narrated Al-Bara' bin 'Azib: A man recited Surat-al-Kahf (in his prayer) and in the house there was a (riding) animal which got frightened and started jumping. The man finished his prayer with Taslim, but behold! A mist or a cloud hovered over him. He informed the Prophet of that and
The Prophet said, "O so-and-so! Recite, for this (mist or cloud) was a sign of peace (sakinah) descending for the recitation of Quran." (Sahih Al-Bukhaari)
It was mentioned that the reciter was Usayd ibn Hudayr, one of the leaders of al-Ansaar. In another narration, it was said that the angels came down to listen to his recitiation...
Lesson: The angels come down with the sakinah of Allaah swt when one is reciting the Qur'an. That can be in the form of a cloud. Everything happens for a reason!
It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed al-Khduri that The Prophet (SalAllahu Alayhi WaSalam) said: "Whoever reads Surat al-Kahf on Friday, he will be illuminated with light between the two Fridays." [Narrated by al-Haakim; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani]
Abu Darda' reported The Prophet(SalAllahu Alayhi WaSalam) as saying: "If anyone learns by heart the first ten verses of the Surat al-Kahf, he will be protected from the Dajjal." [Sahih Muslim]

you may not have heard of Dr Bahsar Shala. he is a cardiologist in Tennessee. on sunday nights after Maghrib, he regularly gives lectures in Islamic history. i love his Seerah:
the other day i was doing a search on him and saw that he has some cds available overseas. a box set is entitled "The Sleeper of the Cave"; so i rushed to the website and found the lectures. i listened to them all and, MashaAlllah, the Brother does an awesome job! Alhumdulillah!
Dr Shala had been doing a series on the Prophets, AS, titled Reflections on Stories from the Qur'an. he had just done Musa, AS, so the Qhidr story is first.
the one entitled The Man of Two Gardens is one of the best lectures i've ever heard. in fact, i was relaying the contents to a brother the other day, and he said, "i wish i could tape record you and play it to my brother.' so when i dropped him off, i gave him a copy on cd. he was very happy!
the conclusions on the 4th cd make it a great package set to listen to them all and In Sha'a Alah, you will benefit and Allah, SWT, will reward Dr Shala!
Had the non-believer known of all the Mercy which is in the Hands of Allah, he would not lose hope of entering Paradise, and had the believer known of all the punishment which is present with Allah, he would not consider himself safe from the Hell-Fire http://www.muftimenk.co.za/Downloads.html

Whoever recites [the above] one Hundred times, a thousand good deeds are recorded for him or a thousand bad deeds are wiped away.Sahih Muslim; #4:2073.
