To what extent are the hadiths mentioned regarding the virtues of Surat Al-Waqi'ah authentic, such as: "Teach your women Surat Al-Waqi'ah.

The hadiths transmitted regarding the virtues of Al-Waqi'ah, such as: "Teach your women Surah Al-Waqi'ah, for it is the Surah of richness," and "Whoever recites Surah Al-Waqi'ah and learns it will not be written among the heedless, nor will he and his household become poor," are weak and unreliable hadiths that cannot be acted upon. This is due to the anonymity of the narrators or the presence of abandoned narrators accused of fabricating , such as Abdul Quddus bin Habib.
