- Imam al-Ṣādiq (a) is reported to have said: ‘The one who frequents in reciting Wa al-Shamsi Wa Ḍuḥāhā [Sūrat al-Shams] and Wa al-Layli Idhā Yaghshā [Sūrat al-Layl], and Wa al-Ḍuḥā [Sūrat al-Ḍuḥā], and A-lam Nashraḥ Laka Ṣadrak [Sūrat al-Inshirāḥ], during the day or night, there would not remain anything in his presence except it would testify for him on the Day of Judgement, even his hair, and his skin, and his flesh, and his blood, and his veins, and his nerves, and his bones, and all what the ground carried with him. And the Lord, Almighty will say: “I accept your testimonies for My servant, and I reward him for it. Go with him to My gardens until he chooses from it what he loves, and I will give it to him without reproach, but as a mercy from Me and a grace upon him. And congratulations to My servant!”’[1]Thawab, p. 123.
- It is reported from the Prophet: ‘One who has little divine succour (tawfīq) ought to continuously recite it [Sūrat al-Shams], Allah would help him wherever he may go. And in it are numerous benefits, and [increase in] memory, and acceptance in the presence of all people.’[2]Burhan, 5/669.
- It is reported from Imam al-Ṣādiq (a): ‘It is recommended for the one who has little sustenance and divine succour and lots of losses and regrets, that he should habitually recite it. He would acquire more and gain divine succour.’[3]Burhan, 5/669.
- Ubayy ibn Kaʿb reports from the Prophet: ‘Whoever recites it, it would be as if he has given in charity everything upon which the sun and moon shine.’[4]Tabrisi, 10/752.
