Bismihi Ta’ala
Hazrat Abdullah ibn Khubaib (RA) reported that one dark and rainy night,
they went out in search of Nabi (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) and they found him. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi
wasallam) said: “‘قُلْ ’ (Say).”
Hazrat Abdullah ibn Khubaib (RA) asked Nabi (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi
wasallam) “What should I say?”
He
(Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said: “Read Surah Ikhlaas and
the Muawwizatayn (Surah al-Falaq and an-Naas) thrice every morning and evening;
it will suffice (as a protection) from everything.”[1]
Note: Mullah Ali Qaari (Rahmatullahi ‘alayh) has quoted
Allama Tibi (Rahmatullahi ‘alayh) in his Mirqaat (Vol 4 Page 370) that the
meaning of this Hadeeth is that these Surahs
are sufficient for the protection from all evil, and if the reader does not
read any other wazeefa besides this, it would suffice him.
