The virtues of the Quranic surahs, by surah, are fabricated hadiths, such as what was narrated by Abu Ismah Nuh ibn Abi Maryam, who fabricated a about the virtues of the surahs to encourage people to read the Quran. Ibn Hibban and Al-Dhahabi described him as someone who collected everything except the truth. However, there are authentic and established hadiths regarding the virtues of some surahs of the Quran, and these are sufficient and render unnecessary the fabricated hadiths, which are impermissible to rely upon.
