وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن

النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «من القرآن سورة ثلاثون آية شفعت لرجل حتى غفرت له، وهي: تبارك الذي بيده الملك» وفي رواية أبي داود: «تشفع»

I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) saying, “There is a Surah in the Qur’an which contains thirty Ayat which kept interceding for a man until his sins are forgiven. This Surah is ‘Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion.’ (Surat Al-Mulk 67).”.

What it means

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs us in this Hadīth that the Qur’an has a 30-verse Sūrah that interceded for a man until Allah, the Almighty, forgave him. As he used to recite this Sūrah regularly during his lifetime, it interceded for him after his death, until Allah, the Almighty, averted His punishment from him.

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) did not name the Sūrah at the beginning of the Hadīth, but he did so at its end; a powerful indication of its sublimity and high rank and a greater motive for reciting it persistently.
