The virtue of reading the Quran and the mentioned supplication is established. However, specifying certain surahs or verses, or a particular supplication, with a specific virtue or effect requires Shariah-based evidence; otherwise, it would be considered an added innovation (bid'ah). A Muslim is advised to turn to their Lord to be granted memorization and understanding, and to avoid forgetfulness, without adhering to a specific method for which there is no Shariah-based evidence.
