"He used to recite Surat al-Ikhlas quite often," Gabriel (as) answered, ‘as he stood, sat, or walked, during the night or the day." Then the Prophet (pbuh) turned to us and said, "Recite it as much as you can, for it denotes your Lord; if one recites it fifty times, Allah will raise him fifty thousand degrees and remove from him fifty thousand sins and record for him fifty thousand good deeds, and if one recites it more, Allah will give him more." Ibn al-Mutawakkil quotes Muhammad al-Attar who quotes al-Ash’ari quoting Abmed ibn Hilal quoting Lisa ibn Abdullah quoting his forefathers quoting Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib (as) citing the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) saying, "If someone recites Surat al-Ikhlas when he goes to bed, Allah will forgive the sins he committed in fifty years." Imam Abu Abdullah al-Sadiq (as) is quoted by Sulayman ibn Khalid, one of his companions, saying, a recorded on pp.

349-350, Vol. 89, of Bihar al-Anwar, and on p. 213 of Thawab al-A ‘mat, "If three days pass away and one does not recite Surat al-Ikhlas in any of his prayers, he will be forsaken and conviction will be stripped from his neck, and if he dies during these three days, he will be regarded a sone who disbelieved in Allah, the Great," Chapter 113 (aI-Falaq) The messenger of Allah (pbuh) is quoted as saying that one who recites both this Sura and the next (al-Nas) will be as though he recited all the Books which Allah Almighty has revealed, and he, peace be upon him and his progeny, ordered his companions to recite them upon waking up and upon going to bed.

Chapter 114 (al-Nas) Its merits are similar to those of its sister, Surat al-Falaq.…
