The merit of the beginning of Surah Al-An`am

Q 6: It was related on the authority of Ibn Mas`ud that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Anyone who offers Fajr (Dawn) Prayer in congregation, sits in his Musalla (a place for Prayer) and recites the first three Ayahs (Qur'anic verses) of Surah Al-An`am, Allah appoints seventy angels to do Tasbih (saying: "Subhan Allah [Glory be to Allah]") on his behalf and to ask Allah's Forgiveness for him until the Day of Resurrection. What is the degree of authenticity of this Hadith?


A: This Hadith is attributed by Al-Suyuty in Al-Dur Al-Manthur to Al-Daylamy. We could not find it to examine its Sanad (chain of narrators). Therefore, Allah knows best about its validity.
