The narration which reads: “Recite surat Hud on Friday“, is not correct to be attributed to the Prophet (peace be upon him) as it is a mursal hadith.

The narration is reported by Kab Al-Ahbar and he is one of the Followers (the generation that followed that of the Companions) and he did not see or meet the Prophet.

A mursal hadith is a narration on the authority of some of the Followers and it is one of the categories of weak hadiths

Sheikh Al-Albani classified this narration as weak) in his Da`eef Al-Jami`.

When reviewing the Musnad of Ad-Daarimi, Sheikh Husayn Saleem Asad said about this hadith: “Its chain of narrators is weak because it is a mursal hadith.

Almighty Allah knows best.
