Jabir bin Samurah narrated: "For Zuhr and Asr, Allah's Messenger would recite: By the heavens, holding the Buruj (Surah 85) and (By the heavens and At-Tariq) and similar to them."[3][4][5]
Abu bin Ka’b reported that the prophet (peace be upon him) said “Whoever recites Surah At-Tariq, Allah will grant him rewards equal to the number of stars in the Sky, multiplied by Ten good deeds”
There is a narration from Imam Sadiq which says “Anyone who recites Surah Tariq in his obligatory prayers will have a high rank with Allah in the Hereafter and will be the prophet’s close friend and companion in heaven”. “If recited before taking medicine, then the medicine will be a sure cure. The water in which this Surah has been dissolved should be poured gently on a wound and it will heal with the grace of Allah swt.
