Here is a SaHeeH (Authentic) hadeeth that talks about the great merits we will attain if we were to read Soorah Al-Kahf (18) during Friday night, which is Thursday night for people who use the Gregorian calendar.
في الكافي الحسين بن محمد عن عبد الله بن عامر عن على بن مهزيار عن أيوب بن نوح عن محمد بن أبي حمزة قال: قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: مَنْ قَرَأَ الْكَهْفَ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةِ جُمُعَةٍ كَانَتْ كَفَّارَةَ مَا بَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ
From Muhammad bin Abee Hamzah said, Aboo `Abd Allaah (عليه السلام) said: “Whoever recited Soorah Al-Kahf on every Friday night (i.e. Thursday night for Gregorian calendars) it will be an atonement (for sins) for what is between Jumu`ah (Friday) to (the next) Jumu`ah (Friday)”

hi bro nader zaveri , i guess this will be for small sins not big one, or it is for both.
ReplyDeleteregards,
Assalaamu `Alaykum Brother Khaalid,
ReplyDeleteThis hadeeth doesn't specify if it includes major sins or if it is just restricted to minor sins. I do not want to speculate and try to add my opinion on the hadeeth. So I will just take it at face value as it is a كَفَّارَة (kaffaarah - atonement for sins)
