The Virtues of Surah Alif Lam Mim As-Sajdah |
In the Book of the Friday prayer, Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Hurayrah said, "The Prophet used to recite in Fajr on Fridays: ﴿الم تَنزِيلَ﴾ (Alif Lam Mim. The revelation of...), As-Sajdah, and ﴿هَلْ أَتَى عَلَى الإِنسَـنِ﴾ (Has there not been over man...)Al-Insan (76).'' This was also recorded by Muslim. Imam Ahmad recorded that Jabir said, "The Prophet would never sleep until he recited: ﴿الم تَنزِيلَ﴾ (Alif Lam Mim. The revelation of...), As-Sajdah, and ﴿تَبَارَكَ الَّذِى بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ﴾ (Blessed be He in Whose Hand is the dominion) Al-Mulk (67).'' ﴿بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ﴾ In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. ﴿الـم- تَنزِيلُ الْكِتَـبِ لاَ رَيْبَ فِيهِ مِن رَّبِ الْعَـلَمِينَ- أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرَاهُ بَلْ هُوَ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبّكَ لِتُنذِرَ قَوْماً مَّآ أَتَـهُم مّن نَّذِيرٍ مّن قَبْلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ-﴾ (1. Alif Lam Mim.) (2. The revelation of the Book in which there is no doubt, is from the Lord of all that exists.) (3. Or say they: "He has fabricated it'' Nay, it is the truth from your Lord, so that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you, in order that they may be guided.)
