It has been confirmed in Sahih Muslim from Jabir that the Messenger of Allah
recited this Surah (Al-Kafirun) and
[قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ
أَحَدٌ ]
(Say: "He is Allah One.'') (112:1) in the two Rak`ahs of Tawaf. It is also
recorded in Sahih Muslim in a Hadith of Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah
recited these two Surahs in the two Rak`ahs (optional prayer) of the Morning
prayer. Imam Ahmad recorded from Ibn `Umar that the Messenger of Allah recited
in the two Rak`ahs before the Morning prayer and the two Rak`ahs after the
Sunset prayer on approximately ten or twenty different occasions,
[قُلْ يأَيُّهَا
الْكَـفِرُونَ ]
(Say: "O Al-Kafirun!'') and
[قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ
أَحَدٌ ]
(Say: " He is Allah One.'') (112:1) Ahmad also recorded that Ibn `Umar said,
"I watched the Prophet twenty-four or twenty-five times reciting in the two
Rak`ahs before the Morning prayer and the two Rak`ahs after the Sunset prayer,
[قُلْ يأَيُّهَا
الْكَـفِرُونَ ]
(Say: "O Al-Kafirun!'') and
[قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ
أَحَدٌ ]
(Say: "He is Allah One.'') (112:1)'' Ahmad recorded that Ibn `Umar said, "I
watched the Prophet for a month and he would recite in the two Rak`ahs before
the Morning prayer,
[قُلْ يأَيُّهَا
الْكَـفِرُونَ ]
(Say: "O Al-Kafirun.'') and
[قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ
أَحَدٌ ]
(Say: "He is Allah One.'') (112:1)'' This was also recor- ded by At-Tirmidhi,
Ibn Majah and An-Nasa'i. At-Tirmidhi said, "Hasan.'' It has already been
mentioned previously in a Hadith that it (Surat Al-Kafirun) is equivalent to a
fourth of the Qur'an and Az-Zalzalah is equivalent to a fourth of the Qur'an.
[بِسْمِ اللَّهِ
الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ]
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
[قُلْ يأَيُّهَا
الْكَـفِرُونَ- لاَ أَعْبُدُ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ- وَلاَ أَنتُمْ عَـبِدُونَ مَآ
أَعْبُدُ- وَلا أَنَآ عَابِدٌ مَّا عَبَدتُّمْ- وَلاَ أَنتُمْ عَـبِدُونَ مَآ
أَعْبُدُ- لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ وَلِىَ دِينِ-]
