Question

Is the virtue of reciting Surah Dukhaan for the one who recites it on any night or is it for the one who recites it on a Thursday night?

Answer

The virtue has been mentioned in the Hadith for the one who recites it on any night, however specific mention has also been made for the one who recites it on a Thursday night. The Ahaadith are mentioned below.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (Radiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, "Whoever recites Surah Dukhaan in the night, he wakes up in the morning in the condition that seventy thousand angels beg forgiveness on his behalf."

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (Radiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, "Whoever recites Surah Dukhaan on Thursday night, all his (minor) sins will be forgiven by the morning."

Hazrat Abu Umaamah (Radiyallahu Anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, "The one who recites Surah Dukhaan on the night of Friday (Thursday night) or on the day of Friday, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise."

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
