Is it Sunnah to recite Surat Ad-Dukhan on the eve of Friday?
There are narrations attributed to the Prophet (marfu' hadiths) regarding the virtues of Ad-Dukhan, but none of them are authentic. The first , narrated by Abu Hurairah, "Whoever recites Ha Mim Ad-Dukhan on the night of Friday, he will be forgiven," is weak. It has two defects: the weakness of its narrator, Hisham Abu al-Miqdam, and an interruption (inqita') between Al- and Abu Hurairah. The second hadith, narrated by Ubayy ibn Ka'b, is very weak due to one of its narrators being accused of lying, and another being unknown. The third hadith, narrated by Abu Umamah, "Whoever recites Ha Mim Ad-Dukhan on the night of Friday or on the day of Friday, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise," is very weak due to the weakness of its narrator, Faddal ibn Jubayr, and the unknown status of Hafs ibn Umar Al-Mazini.
