Virtues, description, and recitation method of MERITS OF SURAH ZILZAL as recorded in Shia traditions.
MERITS OF SURAH ZILZAL
Twelfth: Imam al-Sadiq ('a) is reported to have said, "Never
be weary of reciting Surah al-Zalzalah (No. 99) frequently,
because whoever recites this Surah in his supererogatory
(mustahab / nafilah) prayers, will be saved by Allah the
Almighty and All-exalted from being hit by an earthquake and
will not be caused to die because of an earthquake, a
thunderbolt, or any other natural catastrophes; rather, he will
die naturally. When he dies, a noble angel will come to him
from the side of the Lord, sit at the side of his head, and say
to the Angel of Death, 'Be lenient while grasping the soul of
this friend of Allah, for he used to refer to the Lord very
much.' Therefore, the Angel of Death will take out the soul of
that servant as leniently as possible so that he will suffer
from the least agonies of death. Then, his soul will be
escorted by seventy thousand angels to Paradise at the least
time.'
As a margin, the following has been added: "The covering will
be removed from the sight of this servant so that he will see
his places in Paradise."
