* A protection from the fitnah of Dajjal. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "Whoever commits to memory the first ten Ayat of the Surat Al-Kahf, will be protected from (the trial of) Ad-Dajjal (Antichrist)." [Muslim]
* A light for the one that recites it every Friday. On the authority of Abi Saeed al-Khudri that the Prophet (saw) said, "Whoever recites Surah al-Kahf on Jummah [Friday] it will be a light for him between the two Jummahs." [Baihaqi, Hakim - Hasan]
* The Messenger of Allah (saw) mentioned the Dajjal (Antichrist) saying: "If he comes forth while I am among you I shall be the one who will dispute with him on your behalf, but if he comes forth when I am not among you, a man must dispute on his own behalf, and Allah will take my place in looking after every Muslim. Those of you who live up to his time should recite over him the opening verses of Surat al – Kahf, for they are your protection from his trial. We asked: How long will he remain on the earth ? He replied : Forty days, one like a year, one like a month, one like a week, and rest of his days like yours. We asked : Messenger of Allah, will one day’s prayer suffice us in this day which will be like a year ? He replied : No, you must make an estimate of its extent. Then Jesus son of Marry will descend at the white minaret to the east of Damascus. He will then catch him up at the date of Ludd and kill him." [Muslim]
