Caution: Translations of Quran and Ḥadīth may lead to possible misapplications and misinterpretations. This site is intended for students of sacred knowledge that are proficient in comprehending classical Arabic and have a strong foundation in Islamic sciences.

Protection by reciting Ayat al-Kursi and the opening of Surat al-Ghafir

darimi:3429Isḥāq b. ʿĪsā > Abū Muʿāwiyah, Muḥammad b. Khāzim > ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Abī Bakr al-Mulaykī > Abū Salamah > Abū Hurayrah

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi and the opening of Ha-Mim al-Mumin up to His saying, "Forgiver of sin and Accepter of repentance, severe in punishment, Possessor of bounty. There is no god except Him; to Him is the destination," [Ghafir 40:3], will not see anything he dislikes until evening. And whoever recites it in the evening will not see anything he dislikes until morning."

الدارمي:٣٤٢٩حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ هُوَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَازِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُلَيْكِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قال رسول الله ﷺ: «مَنْ قَرَأَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَفَاتِحَةَ حم الْمُؤْمِنِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: ﴿غَافِرِ الذَّنبِ وَقَابِلِ التَّوْبِ شَدِيدِ الْعِقَابِ ذِي الطَّوْلِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ إِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ﴾ [غافر 3]، لَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا يَكْرَهُهُ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ، وَمَنْ قَرَأَهَا حِينَ يُمْسِي لَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا يَكْرَهُهُ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ»
