Al-Qader Chapter (Fate)

Al-Sheikh Al-Kulaini states in Al-Kafi Book: Saif bin Omeira reported from a man from Imam Abou Jaa'far (Pbuh) that he said: "Reciting Al-Qader Chapter with a loud voice is like unsheathing the sword in the cause of Allah. Reciting it with low voice is equivalent to having one's blood spilled in the cause of Allah. Reciting it ten times remits around one thousand sins.

Al-Sheikh Al-Kulaini states in Al-Kafi Book: Ismaeel bin Sahel said: "I wrote to Imam Abou Jaa'far (Pbuh): "I have great debts." He wrote back to me: "Ask forgiveness frequently and wet your tongue with reciting Al-Qader Chapter.""

Al-Sheikh Al-Kulaini states in Al-Kafi Book: Abi Amrou Al-Hadhaa' said: "My conditions were getting worse so I wrote to Imam Abou Jaa'far (Pbuh) complaining about it. He wrote back to me: "Recite Nouh Chapter constantly." I kept of reciting it for a year and yet my conditions weren’t getting any better. Thus I wrote to him telling him about this and that I recited Nouh Chapter for one year as he (Pbuh) ordered me to and yet my conditions didn’t change for better. He (Pbuh) wrote to me: "You finished the first year. Now start reciting Al-Qader Chapter." I did and my conditions were changed for the best. Ibn Abi Dawood sent me money and paid by debts and provided livelihood for me and my family. He sent me to Basra and made me the delegate of his business there and gave me five hundred Dirhams." Then I wrote to Imam Abou Al-Hassan (Pbuh) from Al-Basra by Ali bin Mahzayar: "I asked your father about the matter that I complained for him and I got what I wanted. I would love you to tell me what shall I do with Al-Qader Chapter. Shall I read only it in my prayers or read other chapters? Is there a limit for working with it?" The Imam (Pbuh) sent back: "Don’t leave any chapter of Quran. Neither the short nor the long. You shall be rewarded for reciting Al-Qader Chapter in your day and night one hundred times.""

Al-Sheikh Al-Sadouq states in Thawab Al-A'amal Book: Ismaeel bin Sahel said: " I wrote to Imam Abou Jaa'far (Pbuh) The Second: "Teach me something that I recite so that I be with you in Donia and Hereafter." The Imam (Pbuh) wrote back to me with his handwriting that I recognized: "Recite Al-Qader Chapter frequently and wet your lips with asking forgiveness.""

Al-Sheikh Al-Sadouq states in Thawab Al-A'amal Book: Al-Hussein bin Abi Al-Alaa reported that Imam Abou Abdellah (Pbuh) said: "When one recites Al-Qader Chapter in a regular prayer, a caller will call him: "O servant of Allah, Allah forgave your past, keep on working."

Al-Sheikh Al-Sadouq states in Al-Amali Book: Al-Hussein bin Yazeed reported that Imam Abou Al-Hassan Moussa Bin Jaa'far (Pbuh) said: "Allah has one thousand bestowments of mercy on each Friday from which He gives his servants as much as he pleases. For he who recites Al-Qader Chapter one hundred times after the afternoon prayer on Friday, Allah shall give him that thousand a another thousand like it."

His palm is bigger than the seven skies and earths. Allah will create one million hairs in his body and in each hair one thousand tongues by which he speaks with the power of humans and Jinn together. They will ask forgiveness for that man and then Allah will multiply their quests two million times. When Ali (Pbuh) used to see one of his followers, he used to say: "Allah is merciful to the ones who recite Al-Qader Chapter.""

 Allah doesn’t accept that anyone after the prophets and custodians are more honored than the ones who recite Al-Qader Chapter.

It is present in the Built House. One thousand angels practice Tawaf around it praising and glorifying it till the evening. It is present in the pillars of the throne. Around every pillar one hundred thousand angels practice Tawaf teaching it till Resurrection Day. It is also present in the treasures of mercy."
