Quran
Today we are discussing about one such surah, which hadith says that if the surah is recited regularly after Maghrib i.e. at night, poverty will not come near. The surah is called Waqiya.
It is the 56th Surah of the Holy Quran. Verse number 96. The Surah revealed in Makkah has 3 bows.
Hadith urges recitation of Surah Waqiya every day after Maghrib prayer. Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud (RA) said, I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying, "He who recites Surah Waqiya every night will not be deprived." (Bayhaqi: 2497, Tafseer Ruhul Ma'ani: 2/128)
A special lesson in reciting Surah Al Waqiya comes from a special conversation with Ameer al-Mu'minin with Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud (RA). When Abdullah Ibn Masood (RA) was lying on his last bed, Osman (RA) went to see him and said, "What is your illness?" Ibn Masud (RA) said, My sin is my illness. Osman (RA) said, what is your desire? He said, I seek the mercy of my Lord. He said, I will arrange any donation from the government treasury, which will benefit you and your daughters? Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said, there is no need for this. I have taught my daughters Surah Waqiyya. I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say, "Whoever recites Surah Waqiya every night, want will never touch him." (Tafseer Jalalain Arabic-Bangla: 6/353)
