DESCENDING OF TRANQUILITY

Imam Ahmad recorded that Al-Bara' said: "A man recited Al-Kahf and there was an animal in the house which began acting in a nervous manner. He looked, and saw a fog or cloud overhead. He mentioned this to the Prophet, who said:

Keep on reciting so and so, for this is the tranquility which descends when one reads Qur'an or because of reading Qur'an

This was also recorded in the Two Sahihs. The man who recited it was Usayd bin Al-Hudayr

PROTECTION FROM DAJJAL

Imam Ahmad recorded from Abu Ad-Darda' that the Prophet said: Whoever memorizes ten Ayat from the beginning of Surah Al-Kahf will be protected from the Dajjal.

This was also recorded by Muslim, Abu Dawud, An-Nasa'i and At-Tirmidhi.

According to the version recorded by At-Tirmidhi, Whoever memorizes three Ayat from the beginning of Al-Kahf. He said, it is "Hasan Sahih.''

ILLUMINATION B/W CONSECUTIVE FRIDAYS

In his Mustadrak, Al-Hakim recorded from Abu Sa`id that the Prophet said: Whoever recites Surah Al-Kahf on Friday, it will illuminate him with light from one Friday to the next. Then he said:

"This Hadith has a Sahih chain, but they (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.''

A LIGHT ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION

Al-Hafiz Abu Bakr Al-Bayhaqi also recorded it in his Sunan from Al-Hakim, then he narrated with his own chain that the Prophet said:Whoever recites Surah Al-Kahf as it was revealed, it will
be a light for him on the Day of Resurrection.
