Abu al-Hasan Muhajir said: During the time of Ziyad, a companion came to Kufa. I heard him narrating a hadith that I was with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on the road and my knee was touching the blessed knee of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. He heard a companion reciting « ﴿قُلْيَاأَيُّهَاالْكَافِرُونَ﴾ ». The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "This person has become free from shirk (polytheism)." He heard another person reciting «﴿قُلْهُوَاللّٰهُأَحَدٌ﴾», so he said: "He has been forgiven."

Hadith Gradingتحقیق (حسین سلیم أسد الدارانی):إسناده صحيح جهالة الصحابي غير قادحة في الحديث، [مكتبه الشامله نمبر: 3469]
Hadith Takhrijاس حدیث کی سند صحیح ہے اور قواعدِ حدیث کے مطابق صحابی کی جہالت مانع صحت نہیں ہے۔ دیکھئے: [فضائل القرآن لابن الضريس 305] ، [النسائي فى الكبرىٰ 15040] ، [أحمد 63/4]
Furwah bin Nawfal narrated from his father (Sayyiduna Nawfal رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said to him: "What has brought you (to me)?" He replied: "I have come so that you may teach me something which I can recite when I go to sleep." The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "When you lie down on your bed, recite «﴿قُلْيَاأَيُّهَاالْكَافِرُونَ﴾» and at its end go to sleep, for this surah is a declaration of innocence from shirk (association with Allah)." (i.e., it absolves one from shirk.)
