Which surahs are known as "the bride of the Qur'an" or "the brocade of the Qur'an," and what is their number?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Many hadiths have been narrated regarding the virtues of the Qur'anic surahs, some authentic, some weak, and some fabricated. It is not permissible to act upon the fabricated ones. The hadith "Everything has a bride, and the bride of the Qur'an is Ar-Rahman" is denounced (munkar), and the hadith "The Hawamim are the brocade of the Qur'an" is fabricated (mawdu'). Therefore, naming Surat Ar-Rahman as the bride of the Qur'an is weak, and naming the Hawamim as the brocade of the Qur'an is fabricated.
