How sound is the Hadith: "The house in which Surat Al-Kahf is recited will not be approached by Satan that night"?
The narration about the virtue of Surat Al-Kahf, and that the house in which it is recited will not be entered by Satan that night, was mentioned by Al-Suyuti in "Al-Durr Al-Manthur" and "Al-Jami' Al-Kabeer," attributing it to Ibn Mardawayh, Abu Al-Shaykh, and Al-Tabarani, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Mughaffal.
However, the of Ibn Mardawayh and the book "Thawab Al-A'mal" by Abu Al-Shaykh are no longer extant. As for Al-Tabarani's narration, it mentioned Surat Al-Baqarah instead of Al-Kahf, and its chain of transmission is very weak due to the presence of "'Adi ibn Al-Fadl," who is abandoned in , and "'Ali ibn Zayd," who is also weak.
Therefore, this report is not established because no authentic chain of transmission is known for it.
