The Sufficient (Vol 3) · Hadith 1681 (#Ḥadīth #7)

7ـ وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) مَنْ قَرَأَ الْكَهْفَ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةِ جُمُعَةٍ كَانَتْ كَفَّارَةَ مَا بَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ. قَالَ وَرَوَى غَيْرُهُ أَيْضاً فِيمَنْ قَرَأَهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ.

7. It is narrated through the same chain of narrators as that of the previous Hadith from Ali ibn Mahziyar from Ayyub ibn Nuh from Muhammad ibn abu Hamzah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, ‘If one recites chapter 18 of the Holy Quran every Friday night, it serves as an expiation for the matters from this to the next Friday.’” The narrator of the Hadith has said that people other than him also have narrated about reciting this Chapter after the afternoon Salah (prayer) on Friday.”
