سورة الانسان

The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family): Abu Dharr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) recited هَلْ أَتی عَلَی الْإِنْسانِ [Has there come upon man…] to its end, then said: "Indeed, I see what you do not see, and I hear what you do not hear. The heaven groans, and it has a right to groan, for in it there is not a space of four fingers except that an angel is there placing his forehead in prostration to Allah. By Allah! If you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much, and you would not take pleasure with women on the beds, and you would go out to the hills crying aloud to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic."

Imam al-Askari (peace be upon him): [Addressing Ali ibn Umar al-Attar:] O Ali! Whoever wishes Allah to protect him from the evil of Monday should recite هَلْ أَتی عَلَی الْإِنْسانِ [Has there come upon man] in the first rak'ah of his morning prayer. Then he recited this verse: فَوَقاهُمُ اللهُ شَرَّ ذلِکَ الْیَوْمِ وَ لَقَّاهُمْ نَضْرَهًًْ وَ سُرُوراً [So Allah protected them from the evil of that day and bestowed on them radiance and joy].

Imam Baqir (peace be upon him): Whoever recites Surah هَلْ أَتَی عَلَی الْإِنسَانِ [Has there come upon man] at every Thursday dawn, Allah the Mighty and Majestic will marry him to eight hundred virgin houris of Paradise and four thousand non-virgin houris of Paradise, and he will be with the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family).

The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family): Whoever recites this Surah, his reward with Allah will be a garden of Paradise and a garment of silk.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): Reciting this Surah strengthens the soul, increases self-restraint and removes anxiety, and [brings peace of mind]. And if one is weak in reciting it, he should write it on a piece of paper, dissolve it in water and drink that water — it prevents weakness of the soul and, by the will of Allah, this weakness of his soul will be removed.
