Surah Al-Hajj was revealed in Medina and contains 78 verses.
Since some verses of this Surah are about Hajj pilgrimage, it has been called Surah Hajj.
Our Beloved Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (razi allahu anhu) has said that whoever recites this Surat Hajj once in every three days will get the opportunity of going for Hajj in the same year, and if he dies on the way, he will be granted Jannah. Someone asked what would happen if the person performing the Hajj was a sinner, so the Imam (razi allahu anhu) replied that his punishment would be reduced.
Those who recites this surah would be given recompense equal to hajj and umrah performed from the beginning to the day of judgement.
