What is the authenticity of the following Hadith which specifically mentions between Maghrib and ‘Isha:
Whomsoever recites Surah Sajdah and Surah Mulk between Maghrib and ‘Isha, it is as though he has stood up in ‘ibadah on Laylatul Qadr.
Answer:
This narration is recorded in Tafsir ibn Marduyah. However, it has been declared a fabrication. It is therefore not suitable to quote.
(Refer: Ad Durrul Manthur, beginning of Surah Sajdah, vol. 11 pg. 671 and Tafsir Ruhul Ma’ani, beginning of Surah Sajdah, vol. 21 pg. 121. Also see: Al Kafish Shaf, Hadith: 868 )
Reciting these Surahs every night have been proven from other Hadiths. See here.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
