The merit of Surah Al-Takwir, Al-Infitar and Al-Inshiqaq
Q 15: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
Anyone who wants to witness the Day of Resurrection as if they are seeing it should recite (Surah Al-Takwir):
When the sun is wound round and its light is lost and is overthrown.
And (Surah Al-Infitar):
When the heaven is cleft asunder.
And (Surah Al-Inshiqaq):
When the heaven is split asunder,
?

The Hadith in question was related by
Imam Ahmad,
Al-Tirmidhy,
Al-Tabarany, and others
on the authority of
`Abdullah ibn Bahir Al-Qas who narrated that
`Abdul-Rahman ibn Yazid Al-San`any informed him that he heard
Ibn `Umar saying: "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said..." and he mentioned this Hadith.
Al-Tirmidhy commented: "This is a Hadith Hasan Gharib (a good Hadith that is strange to come from this chain of narration)."
Al-Hakim said: "Its Sanad (chain of narrators) is Sahih (authentic)."
