The Virtues of Surah Dukhan

1. Hazrat Abu Hurairah radiyallahu anhu reported Allah’s Messenger sallallahu alaihe wasallam as saying, "If anyone recites Ha-mim Al-Dukhan any night, seventy thousand angels will ask forgiveness for him in the evening."

(Tirmizi)

2. Hazrat Abu Rafi radiyallahu anhu said, "Whoever will recite Surah Dukhan on the eve of Friday, by morning he is forgiven and he will be wed to a huri (damsel of paradise) with wide lovely eyes."
(Darimi)

3. The same Hadith is reported by Hazrat Abu Hurairah radiyallahu anhu that Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam said, "Whoever shall recite Surah Dukhan on the eve of Friday, he is forgiven in the morning."

4. Hazrat Abu Umamah radiyallahu anhu has said: I have heard the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihe wasallam saying, "Whoever prays Surah Dukhan on the eve of Friday or on Friday Allah Ta’ala makes for him a home in paradise."

[Insaanah]

According to some scholars (and in some cases Tirmidhi himself) the hadeeth mentioned above are either weak or very weak.

Hadeeth number one:

Q 1: What is the authenticity of the following Hadith: “Whoever recites Surah Al-Dukhan in the evening, seventy thousand angels will ask forgiveness for him until the morning”.

A: This Hadith is narrated by Al-Tirmidhy on the authority of Abu Hurayrah from the Prophet (peace be upon him). It has been classified as Da‘if (weak). Jalal Al-Din Al-Suyuty classified it as Da‘if in his Hadith compilation entitled “Al-Gami‘ Al-Saghir”. Ibn Al-Jawzy also referred to it in his book entitled “Al-Mawdu‘at” [Fabricated Hadith]. The Sanad (chain of narrators) include ‘Umar Ibn Rashid Ibn Shajarah whom Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, Yahia Ibn Ma‘in, Abu Dawud and others have ranked as a weak narrator.

May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions!

Hadeeth numbers 3 and 4:

Is it Sunnah to read Soorat al-Dukhaan on the night before Friday?.

Praise be to Allaah.

There are marfoo‘ hadeeths about the virtue of reading Soorat al-Dukhaan, but none of them are saheeh.

With regard to the first hadeeth:

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:

“Whoever recites Ha-Meem (soorat) al-Dukhaan on the night before Friday will be forgiven.”

It was narrated by al-Tirmidhi (2889) via Hishaam Abu’l-Miqdaam, from al-Hasan, from Abu Hurayrah.

Then al-Tirmidhi said: We only know this hadeeth through this isnaad, and Hishaam Abu’l-Miqdaam is da‘eef. And al-Hasan did not hear from Abu Hurayrah. This was the view of Ayyoob, Yoonus ibn ‘Ubayd and ‘Ali ibn Zayd.

Thus the hadeeth has two faults:

1. Abu’l-Miqdaam Hishaam ibn Ziyaad: the muhadditheen are unanimously agreed that he is to be regarded as da‘eef. Ibn Hibbaan said: He narrates fabricated reports from trustworthy narrators, and it is not permissible to quote him as evidence. See: Tahdheeb al-Tahdheeb, 11/39.

2. There is a break in the isnaad between al-Hasan and Abu Hurayrah.

Hence it was classed as da‘eef by Ibn al-Jawzi in al-Mawdoo‘aat (1/247), Ibn al-‘Arabi in ‘Aaridah al-Ahwadhi, 6/35, and al-Albaani in Da‘eef al-Tirmidhi.

The second hadeeth:

In his Tafseer (4/46), al-Waahidi narrated a hadeeth from Ubayy ibn Ka‘b that is similar to the hadeeth quoted above, except that its isnaad includes Sallaam ibn Saleem who is accused of lying. Hence Shaykh al-Albaani, in al-Silsilah al-Da‘eefah (no. 4632), ruled that it is da‘eef jiddan (very weak).

Ahmad ibn Manee‘ also narrated it from Ubayy ibn Ka‘b in his Musnad, as it says in al-Busayri’s Ithaaf al-Khiyarah al-Maharah (6/89). Then he said: This isnaad is weak because Haroon ibn Katheer is not known.

The third hadeeth:

It was narrated from Abu Umaamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:

“Whoever recites Ha-Meem al-Dukhaan on the night before Friday or on Friday, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.”

This was narrated by al-Tabaraani in al-Mu‘jam al-Kabeer (8/264).

Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

(It is) da‘eef jiddan. It was narrated by al-Asfahaani in al-Targheeb wa’l-Tarheeb (p. 244) from Hafs ibn ‘Umar al-Maazini: Fidaal ibn Jubayr told us, from Abu Umaamah in a marfoo‘ report…

I [Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy on him)] say: This isnaad is da‘eef jiddan. With regard to Fidaal ibn Jubayr, Ibn Hibbaan said: It is not permissible to quote him as evidence under any circumstances; he narrated hadeeths that have no basis. Because of him, al-Haythami regarded it as a faulty hadeeth and said (2/168): It was narrated by al-Tabaraani in al-Kabeer and its isnaad includes Fidaal ibn Jubayr, who is da‘eef jiddan, and Hafs ibn ‘Umar al-Maazini, who is not known, as it says in al-Lisaan. End quote.

Silsilah al-Ahaadeeth al-Da‘eefah wa’l-Mawdoo‘ah, 11/191, no. 5112

This hadeeth is also classed as da‘eef in Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 3/141

And Allah knows best.
