Is the hadith “Whoever recites 'Ya-Sin' in the morning will remain in joy until evening, and whoever recites it in the evening will remain in joy until morning” authentic? And to what extent is it true that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, regularly recited it at dawn?
The narration that states: "Whoever recites Yasin when he wakes up will remain in joy until he reaches evening, and whoever recites it when he reaches evening will remain in joy until he wakes up," revolves around the Tabi'i Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, and it was narrated by Ibn Ad-Durays. This narration is weak because it revolves around 'Amir ibn Yasaf, who is weak in Hadith and has reprehensible narrations. Even if it were authentic, it is not a saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, nor of his companions, but rather a saying of Yahya ibn Abi Kathir. There is no authentic Hadith indicating that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, regularly recited Surat Yasin at dawn, and all narrations regarding the virtues of Surat Yasin are weak.
