Another Hadith was reported by
Al-Hakim
which he ranked as Sahih (authentic) on the authority of
Abu Sa`id
that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
Anyone who recites Surah Al-Kahf on Friday, there will be light for him between this Friday and the next one.
What is the degree of authenticity of these Hadiths?
A:
The well-known narration is "Anyone who memorizes the first ten Ayahs of Surah Al-Kahf." As for the other narration about the last ten Ayahs of Surah Al-Kahf, it is Shadh (a Hadith narrated by a trustworthy narrator, not in line with the narration of other trustworthy narrators in terms of wording, chain of narrators, or both).As for the Hadith of
Abu Sa`id (may Allah be pleased with him), it is Hadith Hasan (a Hadith whose chain of narration contains a narrator with weak exactitude, but is free from eccentricity or blemish)
and ranked as Sahih by
Al-Hakim.
