حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَبَّاسٍ الْجُشَمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ سُورَةً مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ثَلاَثُونَ آيَةً شَفَعَتْ لِرَجُلٍ حَتَّى غُفِرَ لَهُ وَهِيَ سُورَةُ تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ‏.‏

Abu Hurayrah reported that the Prophet said, ‘There is a surah of thirty verses in the Qur’an that intercedes for a man until he is forgiven: “Blessed is He in whose hand is the dominion” (Surah al-Mulk).’ Abu ‘Isa graded this hadith hasan.
