وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ أَلْهاکُمُ التَّکاثُرُ فِی فَرِیضَهٍ کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ثَوَابَ أَجْرِ مِائَهِ شَهِیدٍ وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا فِی نَافِلَهٍ کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ثَوَابَ خَمْسِینَ شَهِیداً وَ صَلَّی مَعَهُ فِی فَرِیضَتِهِ أَرْبَعُونَ صَفّاً مِنَ الْمَلَائِکَهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ.

1. And from the previous chain from al-Hassan from Sa’eed from Abi Abdillah (a.s) who said: Whoever recites Al- Haakumut Takathur (Surah Takathur) in his obligatory Prayer, reward for a hundred martyrs would be written for him by command of Allah and whoever recites it in his recommended prayers, Allah would grant him reward for fifty martyrs. Further, if Allah wills, forty rows of angels would offer prayer with the reciter of Surah Takathur.

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی الْعَطَّارُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِیَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بَشَّارٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الدِّهْقَانِ عَنْ دُرُسْتَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ قَرَأَ أَلْهاکُمُ التَّکاثُرُ عِنْدَ النَّوْمِ وُقِیَ مِنْ فِتْنَهِ الْقَبْرِ.

2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s) said, “One who recites Surah Takathur before going to bed would remain safe from the chastisement of grave.”
