There are a number of ahaadeeth which speak of the virtues of this soorah, most of which are, however, false and fabricated, and some of which are slightly weak (da’eef). We have not found any saheeh hadeeth which speaks specifically of the virtues of Soorat Ya-Seen.
Among the reports which have been narrated concerning its virtues but classed as da’eef by the scholars of hadeeth include the following, which we are only quoting here to warn about them:
“Everything has a heart, and the heart of the Qur’aan is Ya-Seen; whoever reads it, it is as if he has read the Qur’aan ten times.”
“Whoever reads Soorat Ya-Seen in one night will be forgiven in the morning.”
“Whoever continues to read it every night then dies, will die as a shaheed (martyr).”
“Whoever enters the graveyard and reads Soorat Ya-Seen, their (punishment) will be reduced that day, and he will have hasanaat (reward) equal to the number of people in the graveyard.”
See: al-Mawdoo’aat by Ibn al-Jawzi (2/313); al-Fawaa’id al-Majmoo’ah by al-Shawkaani (979, 942). See also the essay Hadeeth Qalb al-Qur’aan Ya-Seen fi’l-Mizaan wa Jumlat mimma ruwiya fi Fadaa’iliha by Shaykh Muhammad ‘Amr ‘Abd al-Lateef, may Allaah preserve him.
There is no doubt that Soorah Yaa-Seen is a great and important soorah which contains moving stories and eloquent lessons.
