✿ Question:
What is the ruling on reciting the last verses of Sūrah al-Ḥashr in the morning or evening?
✿ Answer:
Al-ḥamdu lillāh, waṣ-ṣalātu wa-s-salāmu ʿalā Rasūlillāh, ammā baʿd:
- Recitation of the Qur’an — whether in small or large portions, in the morning or evening, day or night — carries reward at all times.
- However, the narrations that specifically mention reciting the last verses of Sūrah al-Ḥashr in the morning and evening, claiming that seventy thousand angels seek forgiveness for the reciter, are neither ṣaḥīḥ (authentic) nor ḥasan (sound).
📖 References:
① Jāmiʿ al-Tirmidhī – Abwāb Faḍāʾil al-Qurʾān, Bāb fī Faḍl Qirāʾat Ākhir Sūrat al-Ḥashr
② al-Anbiyāʾ 21:69
✅ Conclusion:
- Reciting the last verses of Sūrah al-Ḥashr in the morning or evening is permissible and rewarding as part of general Qur’an recitation.
- But the specific virtues mentioned in weak narrations about seventy thousand angels seeking forgiveness are not authentic.
