This Surah was revealed in Makkah and has a total of 123 ayaat (verses). Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) has said that whoever recites this Surah every Friday, his accounts will on the Day of Judgement, be taken together with that of the Prophets and all his sins will be forgiven.
It is narrated from the Holy Prophet (S.) that the person who recites Surah Hud will get a reward equal to the number of people who were there at the time of the Holy Prophet (S) and his rank will be like of the martyrs. The accounting for his deeds will also be made easy for him.
Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) has said that writing this Surah on a sheepskin and keeping it in one’s possession at all times makes one so courageous and bold that nobody can defeat him in combat. Whoever sees him will be filled with fear.
