سورة يونس

Imam Baqir (peace be upon him): The word Yunus is derived from uns (affection and intimacy). Because when he became angry at the disobedience of his people and departed from among them, he took intimacy and closeness with Allah the Exalted. And after his return he once again became intimate with them (his people).

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): Whoever recites Surah Yunus once every two or three months need not fear being counted among the ignorant. And on the Day of Resurrection he will be among those brought near (al-muqarrabin).

The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family): Whoever recites this surah will be given reward and good deeds equal to the number of those who denied Yunus (peace be upon him) and those who believed in him. And whoever writes this surah and keeps it in his house and reads over it the names of all the people of that house who have any ailment, their ailment will be cured. And whoever places it in a basin and washes it with clean water and kneads dough with that water and then bakes bread from it, and reads over it the names of those suspected [of theft], [then] gives each person a piece of that bread — [he can identify the real thief in this way: that if] the actual culprit eats it, he will never be able to swallow that piece of bread and will confess to his theft.
