“Whoever reads Sūrah Al Kahf on Friday will have a light that will
546
shine for him in the interval between that Friday and the next”.
c. Increase dufiā√.
The Prophet  explains: “On Friday there is a time that when
a Muslim performs ṣalāt and asks for something from Allāh, it will

be granted (the request) and he  beckoned that it was for a short

547
time”.

In another narration: “The time (for the granting of dufiā√) is
548
between the seating of the Imām until the end of ṣalāt”.

545 Narrated by Abū Dāwūd no. 1047, An-Nasā√ī III/91, 92. Refer tp pp. 296-298.
546 Narrated by Al Ḥākim II/368 and Al Baihaqī III/249 and pronounced ṣaḥīḥ by Shaikh al √Albānī
within Irwā√ul Ghalīl no. 626. There is another narration from Abū Safiīd al Khudrī  wherein he
says: Whoever reads Sūrah Al Kahf on the eve of Friday…” (Narrated by Abū Dāwūd II/454, and
the sanad of this ḥadīth is mauquf ṣaḥīḥ. Refer to Aḥādīthul Jumufiah, Shaikh fiAbdul-Quddus).
Imām Ash-Shāfifiī ﷲا ﻪﲪر said: “I also like to read Sūrah Al Kahf on the eve of Friday”. Ṣaḥīḥ al Adhkār
I/449. Thus it is pronounced sunnah to read Sūrah Al Kahf on the eve of Friday and Friday.
