Tafsir Ibn Kathir -> Surah Al-Kahf -> What has been mentioned about the Virtues of this Surah and the first and last ten Ayat, which provide protection from the Dajjal |
Imam Ahmad recorded that Al-Bara' said: "A man recited Al-Kahf and there was an animal in the house which began acting in a nervous manner. He looked, and saw a fog or cloud overhead. He mentioned this to the Prophet , who said: آ«ط§ظ‚ظ’ط±ظژط£ظ’ ظپظڈظ„ظژط§ظ†ظڈطŒ ظپظژط¥ظگظ†ظ‘ظژظ‡ظژط§ ط§ظ„ط³ظ‘ظژظƒظگظٹظ†ظژط©ظڈ طھظژظ†ظ’ط²ظگظ„ظڈ ط¹ظگظ†ظ’ط¯ظژ ط§ظ„ظ’ظ‚ظڈط±ظ’ط¢ظ†ظگ ط£ظژظˆظ’ طھظژظ†ظژط²ظ‘ظژظ„ظژطھظ’ ظ„ظگظ„ظ’ظ‚ظڈط±ظ’ط¢ظ†آ» (Keep on reciting so and so, for this is the tranquillity which descends when one reads Qur'an or because of reading Qur'an;) This was also recorded in the Two Sahihs. This man who recited it was Usayd bin Al-Hudayr, as we have previously mentioned in our Tafsir of Surat Al-Baqarah. Imam Ahmad recorded from Abu Ad-Darda' that the Prophet said: آ«ظ…ظژظ†ظ’ طظژظپظگط¸ظژ ط¹ظژط´ظ’ط±ظژ ط¢ظٹظژط§طھظچ ظ…ظگظ†ظ’ ط£ظژظˆظ‘ظژظ„ظگ ط³ظڈظˆط±ظژط©ظگ ط§ظ„ظ’ظƒظژظ‡ظ’ظپظگ ط¹ظڈطµظگظ…ظژ ظ…ظگظ†ظژ ط§ظ„ط¯ظ‘ظژط¬ظ‘ظژط§ظ„آ» (Whoever memorizes ten Ayat from the beginning of Surat Al-Kahf will be protected from the Dajjal.) This was also recorded by Muslim, Abu Dawud, An-Nasa'i and At-Tirmidhi. According to the version recorded by At-Tirmidhi, آ«ظ…ظژظ†ظ’ طظژظپظگط¸ظژ ط«ظژظ„ظژط§ط«ظژ ط¢ظٹظژط§طھظچ ظ…ظگظ†ظ’ ط£ظژظˆظ‘ظژظ„ظگ ط§ظ„ظ’ظƒظژظ‡ظ’ظپآ» (Whoever memorizes three Ayat from the beginning of Al-Kahf.) He said, it is "Hasan Sahih. '' In his Mustadrak, Al-Hakim recorded from Abu Sa`id that the Prophet said: آ«ظ…ظژظ†ظ’ ظ‚ظژط±ظژط£ظژ ط³ظڈظˆط±ظژط©ظژ ط§ظ„ظ’ظƒظژظ‡ظ’ظپظگ ظپظگظٹ ظٹظژظˆظ’ظ…ظگ ط§ظ„ظ’ط¬ظڈظ…ظڈط¹ظژط©ظگ ط£ظژط¶ظژط§ط،ظژ ظ„ظژظ‡ظڈ ظ…ظگظ†ظژ ط§ظ„ظ†ظ‘ظڈظˆط±ظگ ظ…ظژط§ ط¨ظژظٹظ’ظ†ظژظ‡ظڈ ظˆظژط¨ظژظٹظ’ظ†ظژ ط§ظ„ظ’ط¬ظڈظ…ظڈط¹ظژطھظژظٹظ’ظ†آ» (Whoever recites Surat Al-Kahf on Friday, it will illuminate him with light from one Friday to the next.) Then he said: "This Hadith has a Sahih chain, but they (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.'' Al-Hafiz Abu Bakr Al-Bayhaqi also recorded it in his Sunan from Al-Hakim, then he narrated with his own chain that the Prophet said: آ«ظ…ظژظ†ظ’ ظ‚ظژط±ظژط£ظژ ط³ظڈظˆط±ظژط©ظژ ط§ظ„ظ’ظƒظژظ‡ظ’ظپظگ ظƒظژظ…ظژط§ ظ†ظژط²ظژظ„ظژطھظ’طŒ ظƒظژط§ظ†ظژطھظ’ ظ„ظژظ‡ظڈ ظ†ظڈظˆط±ظ‹ط§ ظٹظژظˆظ’ظ…ظژ ط§ظ„ظ’ظ‚ظگظٹظژط§ظ…ظژط©آ» (Whoever recites Surat Al-Kahf as it was revealed, it will be a light for him on the Day of Resurrection.) ﴿ط¨ظگط³ظ’ظ…ظگ ط§ظ„ظ„ظ‘ظژظ‡ظگ ط§ظ„ط±ظ‘ظژطظ’ظ…ظژظ€ظ†ظگ ط§ظ„ط±ظ‘ظژطظگظٹظ…ظگ ﴾ In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ﴿ط§ظ„ظ’طظژظ…ظ’ط¯ظڈ ظ„ظگظ„ظ‘ظژظ‡ظگ ط§ظ„ظ‘ظژط°ظگظ‰ ط£ظژظ†ظ’ط²ظژظ„ظژ ط¹ظژظ„ظژظ‰ ط¹ظژط¨ظ’ط¯ظگظ‡ظگ ط§ظ„ظ’ظƒظگطھظژظ€ط¨ظژ ظˆظژظ„ظژظ…ظ’ ظٹظژط¬ظ’ط¹ظژظ„ ظ„ظ‘ظژظ‡ظڈ ط¹ظگظˆظژط¬ظژط§ - ظ‚ظژظٹظ‘ظگظ…ط§ظ‹ ظ„ظ‘ظگظٹظڈظ†ظ’ط°ظگط±ظژ ط¨ظژط£ظ’ط³ظ‹ط§ ط´ظژط¯ظگظٹط¯ظ‹ط§ ظ…ظ‘ظگظ† ظ„ظ‘ظژط¯ظڈظ†ظ’ظ‡ظڈ ظˆظژظٹظڈط¨ظژط´ظ‘ظگط±ظژ ط§ظ„ظ’ظ…ظڈط¤ظ’ظ…ظگظ†ظگظٹظ†ظژ ط§ظ„ظ‘ظژط°ظگظٹظ†ظژ ظٹظژط¹ظ’ظ…ظژظ„ظڈظˆظ†ظژ ط§ظ„طµظ‘ظژظ€ظ„ظگطظژط§طھظگ ط£ظژظ†ظ‘ظژ ظ„ظژظ‡ظڈظ…ظ’ ط£ظژط¬ظ’ط±ظ‹ط§ طظژط³ظژظ†ظ‹ط§ - ظ…ظ‘ظژط§ظƒظگط«ظگظٹظ†ظژ ظپظگظٹظ‡ظگ ط£ظژط¨ظژط¯ظ‹ط§ - ظˆظژظٹظڈظ†ظ’ط°ظگط±ظژ ط§ظ„ظ‘ظژط°ظگظٹظ†ظژ ظ‚ظژط§ظ„ظڈظˆط§ظ’ ط§طھظ‘ظژط®ظژط°ظژ ط§ظ„ظ„ظ‘ظژظ‡ظڈ ظˆظژظ„ظژط¯ظ‹ط§ - ظ…ظ‘ظژط§ ظ„ظژظ‡ظڈظ…ظ’ ط¨ظگظ‡ظگ ظ…ظگظ†ظ’ ط¹ظگظ„ظ’ظ…ظچ ظˆظژظ„ط§ظژ ظ„ط§ظژط¨ظژط¢ط¦ظگظ‡ظگظ…ظ’ ظƒظژط¨ظڈط±ظژطھظ’ ظƒظژظ„ظگظ…ظژط©ظ‹ طھظژط®ظ’ط±ظڈط¬ظڈ ظ…ظگظ†ظ’ ط£ظژظپظ’ظˆظژط§ظ‡ظگظ‡ظگظ…ظ’ ط¥ظگظ† ظٹظژظ‚ظڈظˆظ„ظڈظˆظ†ظژ ط¥ظگظ„ط§ظ‘ظژ ظƒظژط°ظگط¨ظ‹ط§ ﴾ (1.

Mighty is the word that comes out of their mouths. They utter nothing but a lie.)
