Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The correct view is that this virtue pertains to the opening verses of Surah al-Kahf, as has been mentioned in the previous hadith. Reciting Surah al-Kahf on the day of Jumu‘ah (Friday) is a recommended (masnun) act, as is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id radi Allahu anhu that the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “Whoever recites Surah al-Kahf on the day of Jumu‘ah, a light will be illuminated for him between the two Fridays.” (al-Da‘awat al-Kabir by al-Bayhaqi, Mishkat al-Masabih)
