NEW LATEST RECORDING of Surat Al Kahf of Mishary Rashid Al Afasy مشاري العفاسي. Recitation recorded 2013(1434) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shaykh `Abdul-`Azeez ibn `Abdullaah ibn Baaz (previous Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia) was asked the following question: Is reading Soorat al-Kahf on Friday or the night before a recommended action? The Shaykh responded as follows: Praise be to Allaah. There are marfoo' ahaadeeth concerning that which support one another and indicate that it is prescribed to read Soorat al-Kahf on Friday. That was proven to be narrated from Abu Sa'eed al-Khudri and the isnaads stop with him. In an issue like this, it cannot be deemed to be his personal opinion; rather he must have learned it from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him). [End Quote]Majmoo' Fataawa Ibn Baaz (25/196). (1) Narrated by Abu Sa`eed al-Khudri that he said: "Whoever recites Surah al-Kahf on the night before Friday, a light will shine for him - which will stretch between him & the Ka`bah." Recorded by ad-Daarimi. And this hadeeth, was graded "saheeh" by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami`. (2) "Whoever recites Surah al-Kahf on Friday, a light will shine for him - from that Friday until the next Friday." Recorded by al-Haakim and al-Bayhaqi. And the hadeeth -- Ibn Hajar said concerning it: "It is a hasan hadeeth." And he also said: "And it is the strongest of what has been narrated regarding the Recitation of Surah al-Kahf." And Shaykh al-Albaani also graded it "saheeh". (3) Narrated from Ibn `Umar that he said: The Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever recites Surah al-Kahf on Friday, a light will shine forth for him from beneath his feet, to the clouds of the sky. And it will shine for him on the Day of Judgment. And all (the sins he committed) between the 2 Jumu`ahs will be forgiven." Recorded in At-Targheeb wat-Tarheeb. Al-Mundhiree said: "This was recorded by Abu Bakr Ibn Mardooyah in his Tafseer, with a chain of narration that has no problem with it." Laa ba`sa bihi And the Surah should be recited on the night before Jumu`ah or during the Day of Jumu`ah. And the 'Night of Jumu`ah' begins from the setting of the sun on Thursday. And the "Day of Jumu`ah" ends with the setting of the sun on Friday. * Therefore, the time for reciting Surah al-Kahf extends from the setting of the sun on Thursday to the setting of the sun on Friday. Imaam al-Munaawi said: "Al-Haafizh Ibn Hajar said: 'So some of the narrations mention the day of Jumu`ah, and other narrations mention the night of Jumu`ah, and the agreed meaning is: The day of Friday & the night before (or Thursday night and the day after).' " And al-Munaawi also said: "Therefore, it is recommended to recite this Surah on the day of Jumu`ah & also the night before - as Imaam Ash-Shaafi`ee (may Allah be pleased with him) explained." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- See: (http://www.ibnothaimeen.com/all/noor/article_7837.shtml) Question: What is the ruling on reciting Surah Al-Kahf on Friday during the day and night? Answer: The recitation of Surah Al-Kahf on Friday is a preferred act and there is merit in it ... and there is no difference between a person reciting it from the Book, or by heart ... and the day, according to the Islamic law, is from the time of sunrise until sunset ... and based upon this, if a person recites it after the Friday prayer, he will receive the reward for it. Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-`Uthaymeen Fataawa Islaamiyyah Vol. 2 Page 477 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Abdullaah al-Fawzaan did a 48 page research on just this issue of reciting surah al-Kahf on Fridays, and after mentioning the many various asaaneed for this hadeeth, and the statements of the salaf such as Imam ash-Shaafi'ee, Imam Ahmad, Ibn Qudaamah, an-Nawawi, as-Sanaani, and ibn Taymiyyah, who all said that it is highly recommended to recite surah al-Kahf on Fridays, he said, "Most of ahlul-ilm say that it is highly recommended to recite surah al-Kahf on Fridays and I have not came across any differences of opinion from them that would negate this." Jazakallah Khayr for stopping Assalamu 3alaykum
