Question:
What are the virtues of Surah Yasin?
Answer:
In the Name of God, Most Kind, Most Merciful
Thank you/ Jazak Allah Khayr for contacting Mathabah with your question.
There are countless virtues for reciting, studying and practicing the lessons of Surah Yasin (Quranic chapter 36).
Some are mentioned below:
“Everything has a heart and the heart of the Quran is Yasin. The Almighty will record anyone who recites Yasin as having recited the Quran ten times.” – (Tirmidi, Darimi)
“Anyone who recites Yasin at the beginning of the day, their needs will be fulfilled.” – (Darimi)
“Indeed in the Noble Quran there is a chapter, reading it will be a means of intercession and it will result in forgiveness for its listener. Listen carefully, it is the chapter, Yasin.”
It must be noted that some of the narrations reported on the virtues of Surah Yasin are considered less authentic. However, hadith scholars such as Imam Hakim have graded a number of related reports as ‘sahih al-isnad’, meaning, “authentic in the chain of narrators.” – (See: Al-Mattaj Al-Rabih)
According to Imam Ibn Hajar, practice upon the implications of weak narrations can be applied however legislation cannot be formed from such narrations.
And Allah Knows Best.
