Benefits of Surah al Imran (3)

Abdullah ibn Masud (radiAllahu anhu) said, ‘What
an excellent treasure Surah al Imran is to the
pauper when he recites it in prayer during the last
part of the night’
[Darimi 3264/A]
The Prophet said, ‘Allah’s most Magnificent
name, which when used to implore Him, He
responds, is found in three Surahs. Al Baqara, Al’
Imran and Taha’
[Hakim & Ibn Majah 3856]
The Prophet said to Muadh (radiAllahu anhu),
‘Should I not teach you a supplication which,
when used to implore Allah, Allah shall pay your
debt, even it be as huge as Mount Uhud? He then
mentioned them (i.e. Surah al Imran verse 26 &
27)’
[Tabarani in Al Saghir 1/330]
Makhul (radiAllahu anhu) reported that the
Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam)
said, “If anyone recites Al ‘Imran on a Friday, the
angels will invoke blessings on him till night
comes.”
[Darimi transmitted it. Mishkat al-Masabih #
2172]
Usman ibn Affan (radiAllahu anhu) reported that
the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi
wasalam) said, “If anyone recites the end of
Surah ‘Al Imran at night, the reward for a night
spent in prayer will be recorded for him.”
Abu Umamah (radiAllahu anhu) reported that the
Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam)
said ‘Read the two radiant ones al-Baqarah and
Al ‘Imran for they will come on the Day of
Resurrection like two clouds, or two shades, or
two flocks of birds, pleading for their companions’
[Muslim]
Al-Nawwas Ibn Sam’an (radiAllahu anhu)
reported that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu
alayhi wasalam) said ‘The Qur’an will be brought
on the Day of Resurrection, along with its
companions who used to act by it, at the front
being Surah al-Baqarah and Al ‘Imran like two
black clouds or canopies with light, or two flocks
of birds pleading for their companion’
[Muslim]
