English Commentary:
1:
﴿قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ﴾ has been referred to as Surah Ikhlas by way of predominance.
Note:
(This hadith is considered sahih li-ghayrihi (authentic due to supporting evidence) because it is strengthened by the lengthy hadith narrated in Sahih Muslim through the chain of Ja'far al-Sadiq. Otherwise, in the author’s chain, there is 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn 'Imran, who is a narrator whose hadith is abandoned.)
