What is the method for reciting Surat Al-Asr upon parting, as narrated from the Companions? And is it to be recited by both individuals who are parting, or is one of them reciting it sufficient? And does this sufficiency extend to a group in a single gathering?

It suffices for one or more of those who meet to recite Surat Al-Asr (Chapter of the Time) as a reminder of its exhortation to faith, righteous deeds, enjoining truth, and patience. This is because the Surah describes humankind as losers, except for those characterized by these attributes, which encourages the Muslim to open the doors to salvation.
