99-/6193 _1- Ibn Babawayh, with his chain from al-Husayn b. Abi al-‘Ala’, from Abu ‘Abd Allah (peace be upon him), said: “No servant who recites Surat Bani Isra’il every Thursday night will die until he meets the Qa’im (peace be upon him), and he will be among his companions.”

99-/6194 _2- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ:عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ،عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلاَءِ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)قَالَ: «مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةِ جُمُعَةٍ،لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَ الْقَائِمَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،وَ يَكُونَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ».

99-/6194 _2- Al-‘Ayyashi: from al-Hasan b. ‘Ali b. Abi Hamzah al-Thumali, from al-Husayn b. Abi al-‘Ala’, from Abu ‘Abd Allah (peace be upon him), said: “Whoever recites Surat Bani Isra’il every Thursday night will not die until he meets the Qa’im (peace be upon him), and he will be among his companions.”

99-/6195 _3- وَ مِنْ(خَوَاصِّ الْقُرْآنِ):رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «مَنْ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ وَ رَقَّ قَلْبُهُ عِنْدَ ذِكْرِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ،كَانَ لَهُ قِنْطَارٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ،وَ الْقِنْطَارُ أَلْفٌ وَ مِائَتَا أُوقِيَّةٍ،وَ الْأُوقِيَّةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ مَا فِيهَا،وَ مَنْ كَتَبَهَا وَ جَعَلَهَا فِي خِرْقَةِ حَرِيرٍ خَضْرَاءَ وَ حَرَزَ عَلَيْهَا وَ رَمَى بِالنِّبَالِ،أَصَابَ وَ لَمْ يُخْطِئْ،وَ إِنْ كَتَبَهَا فِي إِنَاءٍ وَ شَرِبَ مَاءَهَا لَمْ يَتَعَذَّرْ عَلَيْهِ كَلاَمٌ،وَ أُنْطِقَ لِسَانُهُ بِالصَّوَابِ،وَ ازْدَادَ فَهْماً».

99-/6195 _3- And in (Khawass al-Qur’an): It is narrated from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and his family) that he said: “Whoever recites this surah and his heart softens at the mention of the parents will have a qintar in Paradise; and the qintar is one thousand and two hundred uqiyyahs, and an uqiyyah is better than the world and what is in it. And whoever writes it and places it in a green silk cloth, takes protection by it, and shoots arrows, he will hit and not miss. And if he writes it in a vessel and drinks its water, speech will not be difficult for him, his tongue will be made to utter correctly, and his understanding will increase.”

99-/6196 _4- وَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ): «مَنْ كَتَبَهَا فِي خِرْقَةِ حَرِيرٍ خَضْرَاءَ،وَ تَحَرَّزَ عَلَيْهَا وَ عَلَّقَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَ رَمَى بِالنُّشَّابِ أَصَابَ،وَ لَمْ يُخْطِئْ أَبَداً،وَ إِنْ كَتَبَهَا لِصَغِيرٍ تَعَذَّرَ عَلَيْهِ الْكَلاَمُ،يَكْتُبُهَا بِزَعْفَرَانٍ وَ يُسْقَى مَاءَهَا،أَنْطَقَ اللَّهُ لِسَانَهُ بِإِذْنِهِ وَ تَكَلَّمَ».

99-/6196 _4- And from al-Sadiq (peace be upon him): “Whoever writes it in a green silk cloth, takes protection by it, hangs it upon himself, and shoots arrows will hit and never miss; and if he writes it for a small child whose speech is difficult, he should write it with saffron and give him its water to drink—Allah will make his tongue speak by His permission, and he will speak.”
