Question
As salaamu ’alaykum,
Are there any authentic hadith about reciting Surah Waqi’ah nightly to protect one from poverty?
Answer
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
الجواب حامدا ومصليا ومسلما
The narration in question is as follows:
‘Abdullah bin Mas’ood (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and give him peace) said, “Surah al-Waaqi’ah will become a means of protection from poverty for the one who recites it every night.”
(Abu Ya’la)
Although some scholars of hadith have mentioned some weakness in the chain of this hadith, the hadith has been deemed suitable for practice by Imam Zaylai’i and others.
والله اعلم
And Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala knows best.
