The Virtues of Surat As-Saffat

An-Nasa'i recorded that `Abdullah bin `Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "The Messenger of Allah used to command us to make our prayers short and he used to recite As-Saffat when he lead us in prayer.'' This was recorded by An-Nasa'i only.

﴿ بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ﴾

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

﴿ وَٱلصَّـٰٓفَّـٰتِ صَفًّ۬ا • فَٱلزَّٲجِرَٲتِ زَجۡرً۬ا • فَٱلتَّـٰلِيَـٰتِ ذِكۡرًا • إِنَّ إِلَـٰهَكُمۡ لَوَٲحِدٌ۬ • رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَہُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلۡمَشَـٰرِقِ ﴾

(1. By those ranged in ranks.) (2. By those who drive the clouds in a good way.) (3. By those who bring the Dhikr.) (4. Verily, your God is indeed One;) (5. Lord of the heavens and of the earth, and all that is between them, and Lord of every point of the sun's risings.)
