Al-Mannaawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

He recited it frequently, thus it kept asking Allah (to forgive him) until he was forgiven. This is the encouragement to everyone to recite it regularly so as to attain its intercession.

In the virtue mentioned, that this surah will intercede for the one who recites it, there is nothing to limit recitation thereof to night or day, rather what may be understood from this hadeeth is that what is meant by reciting this surah is paying particular attention to it, memorizing it, understanding it, and reciting it frequently, especially in prayer.

According to the hadeeth of Jaabir (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) did not sleep until he recited Alif-Laam-Meem tanzeel (Soorat as-Sajdah) and Tabaarak alladhi bi yahihi al-Mulk (Surat al-Mulk).

There is the hope that the one who recites this surah will attain this great virtue and it will intercede for him before Allah s.w.t and save him from the punishment of the grave. There are reports which speak in particular about giving extra attention to it at night or when going to sleep. So if a person strives to do that, it is a good thing, Insha Allah.

Imaam ash-Shaukaanee and others said:

“On this basis, it is hoped that whoever believes in [the contents of] this surah and reads it regularly, seeking the pleasure of Allah, learning the lessons contained in it and acting in accordance with the rulings contained therein, it will intercede for him [in the Hereafter].”
