سورة الحج

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): Ali ibn Sawra narrated from Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) that the Imam said: "Whoever recites Surah al-Hajj once every three days, within that same year he will go to visit the House of Allah, and if he dies on that journey he will enter Paradise." I asked: If he is from the Ahl al-Sunnah [what reward will he have?] The Imam said: "Some of his punishment will be lightened."

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family): Whoever recites Surah al-Hajj will be given the reward of a Hajj and an Umrah for the number of those who have performed Hajj and Umrah in the past and those who will perform them in the future.

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family): Whoever recites this Surah, good deeds will be written for him equal to the number of those who have performed Hajj and Umrah in the past and those who will perform them in the future. And whoever writes it on the skin of a deer and places it on a ship, the wind will blow toward that ship from every direction and strike it from every side, and it will surround the ship and those in it, causing their destruction and ruin, and none of them will escape. But performing this act is not permissible except against oppressors, highway robbers, and those who are at war with Islam.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): Whoever writes this Surah on the skin of a deer and places it on the deck of a ship, the wind will blow toward that ship from every direction, and the ship will be uprooted from its foundation and will not be safe [from sinking]. And if this Surah is written and then wiped away [with water] and its water is sprinkled at the place of a tyrannical king, that king's rule will be destroyed by the permission of Allah the Exalted.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): Whoever recites Surah al-Hajj once every three days, will go to the House of Allah in that very year, and if he dies during his journey, he will enter Paradise.
