Which Sura of the Qur'an intercedes for its reciter so that they will not be tormented?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Qur'an will intercede for its companions on the Day of Resurrection and supplicate on their behalf. It was reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he said: "The Qur'an is an intercessor whose intercession is accepted, and a disputant whose argument is affirmed. Whoever places it in front of him, it will lead him to Paradise; and whoever places it behind his back, it will drive him to the Fire." Similarly, the Qur'an will come as an intercessor for its companions on the Day of Resurrection, and Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Al 'Imran will come as two clouds disputing on behalf of their reciter. Surah Al-Mulk also interceded for a man until he was forgiven.
