Benefits of Surah al-Nasr (110) and Surah al Ikhlas (112)

Surah al-Nasr (110)

Anas (radiAllahu anhu) reported that the Prophet
(salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, ‘It is equivalent
to a fourth of the Qur’an’
[at-Tirmidhi]

Surah al Ikhlas (112)

Anas mentioned that a man said to the Prophet
(salAllahu alayhi wasalam) , ‘I really love this
surah’. The Prophet replied, ‘And your love for it
will enable you to enter paradise’
[at-Tirmidhi 2826/A, Riyad as-Salihin by Imam
an-Nawawi Ch.183 #1013]
Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (radiAllahu anhu) reported
that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi
wasalam) said about the surah, “Say: He is Allah,
Absolute Oneness” (112), ‘By Him in Whose hand
my soul is, it is equal to one third of the Qur’an!’
[Sahih al-Bukhari 6:61 #533, Riyad as-Salihin by
Imam an-Nawawi Ch.183 #1010]
“Qul Hu Allahu Ahad” is equal to a third of the
Qur’an and “Qul ya ayyuhal Kafirun” is equal to a
fourth of the Qur’an.”
[at-Tabarani, classed as Sahih]
Mu’adh bin Anas (radiAllahu anhu) reported that
the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi
wasalam) said, “Whoever recites (Qul Hu Allahu
Ahad) ten times, Allah will build for him a house
in Paradise.”
Abu Huraira (radiAllahu anhu) reported that the
Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam)
said that “Say: He is Allah, Absolute Oneness” is
equal to a third of the Qur’an.
[Muslim, Riyad as-Salihin by Imam an-Nawawi
Ch.183 #1012]
Abdullah Ibn ‘Abbas and Anas Ibn Malik
(radiAllahu anhum) reported that the Prophet
(salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, ‘Whoever recited
Surah Zilzilah (99) would get the reward of
reciting half the Qur’an. Whoever recited surah al
Kafirun (109) would get a reward as if reading a
quarter of the Qur’an. Whoever recited Surah al
Ikhlas (112) would get a reward as if reading one
third of the Qur’an’.
[at-Tirmidhi 2818/A]
Anas (radhi Allah anhu) said: “When you recite
Surah Al-Fatihah and Surah Al-Ikhlas upon lying
on your bed, you will be safeguarded and should
become fearless of every thing except death.”
[Narrated by Baraa, Tafseer Mazhari 1:31]
Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (radiAllahu anhu) reported
that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi
wasalam) said to his Companions, “Are any of
you unable to recite a third of the Qur’an in a
night?” That was difficult for them and they said,
“Which of us is able to do that, Messenger of
Allah?” He said, “[The surah] ‘Say: He is Allah,
Absolute Oneness, Allah, the Everlasting Sustainer
of all’ (112) constitutes a third of the Qur’an.’”
[Sahih al-Bukhari 6:61 #534, Riyad as-Salihin by
Imam an-Nawawi Ch.183 #1010]
Anas (radiAllahu anhu) reported the Prophet
(salAllahu alayhi wasalam) as saying, “If anyone
recites two hundred times daily, Qul huwallahu
ahad the sins of fifty years will be wiped out,
unless he is in debt.”
[at-Tirmidhi and Darami].
The latter version has ‘fifty times’ and he did not
mention ‘unless he is in debt’
A’isha (radiAllahu anha) reported that whenever
the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) went to
bed every night, he used to cup his hands
together and blow over it after reciting Surat Al-
Ikhlas, Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Nas, and
then rub his hands over whatever parts of his
body he was able to rub, starting with his head,
face and front of his body. He used to do that
three times.
[Sahih al-Bukhari 6:61 #536]
