Question

Assalamu alaykum,

What are the benefits of Surah Nuh?

Jazakhallahu khayr.

Answer

Wa ‘alaykum as-salām wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuhu,

Sūrah Nūḥ forms part of the ‘Mufaṣṣal’ chapters. The Prophet (ṣallAllāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

‌وفضلت ‌بالمفصل. (أخرجه أحمد في مسنده 28/ 188)

“I have been favoured with the Mufaṣṣal chapters.” (Musnad Aḥmad, 28 / 188)

A comprehensive examination of the relevant primary sources at my disposal has not yielded any additional narrations specifically addressing the virtues or benefits of Sūrah Nūḥ. While certain narrations appear in Tafsīr commentaries, critical analysis reveals them to be fabrications.

And Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala knows best.
