The merit of Surah Al-Takwir, Al-Infitar and Al-Inshiqaq


677

Q 15: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Anyone who wants to witness the Day of Resurrection as if they are seeing it should recite (Surah Al-Takwir): When the sun is wound round and its light is lost and is overthrown. And (Surah Al-Infitar): When the heaven is cleft asunder. And (Surah Al-Inshiqaq): When the heaven is split asunder, ?


A: The Hadith in question was related by Imam Ahmad, Al-Tirmidhy, Al-Tabarany, and others on the authority of `Abdullah ibn Bahir Al-Qas who narrated that `Abdul-Rahman ibn Yazid Al-San`any informed him that he heard Ibn `Umar saying: "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said..." and he mentioned this Hadith. Al-Tirmidhy commented: "This is a Hadith Hasan Gharib (a good Hadith that is strange to come from this chain of narration)." Al-Hakim said: "Its Sanad (chain of narrators) is Sahih (authentic)."
