سورة الشمس

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): If a person recites وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا [By the sun and its brightness] and finishes this surah, he should say: "Allah has spoken the truth and His Messenger has spoken the truth."

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): Whoever recites the surahs وَالشَّمْسِ [By the sun], وَاللَّیْلِ إِذَا یَغْشَی [By the night when it covers], وَالضُّحَی [By the forenoon] and أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ [Have We not expanded] frequently during a night or a day, nothing that is beside him and in his presence will remain except that it will bear witness in his favour on the Day of Resurrection — even his hair, his skin, his flesh, his blood, his veins, his sinews, his bones, and everything that is with him and that the earth carries of him. Then Allah, Blessed and Exalted, will say: "I have accepted your testimony for My servant and have deemed it sufficient for him. Take him to My gardens, so that he may choose from among those gardens whichever place he wishes, and give it to him without any obligation, but as a mercy from Me and a favour upon him, and may it be wholesome for My servant."

The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family): Whoever recites this surah, it is as though he has given charity to everyone upon whom the sun and the moon have shone.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): It is fitting that whoever has little sustenance and little success, and much loss and regret, should recite this surah constantly, so that through it he may obtain increase and success.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): Whoever drinks the water of this surah, by the will of Allah the Exalted, tremor will be removed from him.

The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family): Whoever has little success should recite this surah continuously, so that Allah may grant him success wherever he turns.
