سورة البينة

Imam Baqir (peace be upon him): Whoever recites Surah al-Bayyinah is free from the polytheists, has entered into the religion of Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family), and Allah the Mighty and Majestic will raise him as a believer and take his reckoning easily.

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family): Whoever recites this surah, on the Day of Judgement will be a travelling companion and a resident companion with the best of creation.

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family): If people knew what blessings Surah al-Bayyinah contains, they would leave aside their families and their wealth and devote themselves to learning it. A man from the tribe of Khuza'ah said: 'O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family)! What reward and recompense does its recitation carry?' The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: 'A hypocrite never recites it, nor a servant in whose heart there is any doubt about Allah the Mighty and Majestic; by Allah! The angels brought near have been reciting it since the day Allah created the heavens and the earth, and they do not slacken for a moment in reciting it; whoever recites it at night, Allah appoints angels to guard his religion and his worldly life and to seek forgiveness and mercy for him; and if he recites it during the day, he will be given reward equal to the extent to which the day sheds its light upon it and the night darkens over it.'

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) — Isma'il ibn Abi Hakim said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) say: "Allah hears the recitation of Surah al-Bayyina and [addressing the one who recites it] says: 'My servant! Glad tidings to you — by My might and My majesty, I shall grant you such a place and station in Paradise that you will be well pleased.'"

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family): Whoever recites this surah will, on the Day of Judgement, be a companion and friend of the best of creatures, who is Imam Ali (peace be upon him). And if this surah is written on a new vessel and one who is afflicted with facial paralysis (laqwa) looks into it with his eyes, he will be cured of it.

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family): Whoever writes this surah on a thin bread and feeds it to a thief, that thief will choke and be exposed on the spot; and whoever recites this surah over a ring bearing the name of a thief, the ring will move.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): Whoever writes this surah and hangs it upon himself while he is afflicted with jaundice, the jaundice will leave him. And if it is hung upon someone afflicted with a white spot in the eye or leprosy and he drinks its water, Allah will remove the illness from him. And if pregnant women drink its water, it will benefit them and protect them from the harms of food. And if it is written over any swellings, it will remove them by the power of Allah the Exalted.
