Answer

✅ Answer: Pay attention to the following hadith:

1 عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ خَتَمَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِالسَّعَادَةِ وَ إِذَا کَانَ مُدْمِنَ قِرَاءَتِهَا فِی کُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ کَانَ مَنْزِلُهُ فِی الْفِرْدَوْسِ الْأَعْلَی مَعَ النَّبِیِّینَ وَ الْمُرْسَلِینَ.

📚 Thawab al-A'mal, p. 136

Imam Sadiq (blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever recites Surah Al-Mu'minun, Allah Almighty will seal his affair with ultimate happiness (good ending)!

And if he continues doing so every Friday, his abode will be in the Highest Paradise (Firdaws) along with the prophets and messengers!

✅ This hadith is narrated with a slight variation in Wasa'il al-Shia and Bihar al-Anwar from the book Thawab al-A'mal:

2 عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ خَتَمَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِالسَّعَادَةِ إِذَا کَانَ یُدْمِنُ قِرَاءَتَهَا فِی کُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ وَ کَانَ مَنْزِلُهُ فِی الْفِرْدَوْسِ الْأَعْلَی مَعَ النَّبِیِّینَ وَ الْمُرْسَلِینَ.

📚 Wasa'il al-Shia, vol. 7, p. 411

Imam Sadiq (blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever recites Surah Al-Mu'minin, Allah Almighty will seal his affair with ultimate happiness, provided he continues doing so every Friday, and his abode will be in the Highest Paradise along with the prophets and messengers!

✅ It can be observed that, especially according to the versions in Wasa'il al-Shia and Bihar al-Anwar, persisting in reciting Surah Al-Mu'minun every Friday leads to one's affair being sealed with ultimate happiness.

✅ However, the proper and correct way was for this scholar not to attribute this statement to himself and to cite it as a hadith of Imam Sadiq (blessings of Allah be upon him)!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْر
