This is a ‘meccan’ surah. Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (as) urged believers to recite this surah in their prayers as it is the surah of Imam Hussein (as) and the one who recites it often will be in the company of Imam Hussein (as) on the Day of Judgement. It is narrated from the Holy Prophet (s) that the one who recites this surah, ALLAH (swt) will forgive his sins amounting to ten times the number of people who recite this surah. On the Day of Reckoning he will have a shining light. If this surah is written as a talisman and then tied to one’s back, after which he goes into his wife, then ALLAH (s.w.t.) will give him a child who will be a means of pride and blessings for him.
