"There is a surah in the Qur'an, with thirty verses, which will intercede for its companion (the one who recites it) until he is forgiven: Tabarakal-ladhi bi yadihil mulk (Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the Dominion)." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3786)

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ سُورَةً فِي الْقُرْآنِ ثَلَاثِينَ آيَةً شَفَعَتْ لِصَاحِبِهَا حَتَّى غُفِرَ لَهُ {تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ} [الملك 1] فَأَقَرَّ بِهِ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ وَقَالَ نَعَمْ

[Machine] Whoever recites, "Blessed is He in whose hand is the dominion" [Surah Al-Mulk, verse 1] every night, Allah will protect him from the punishment of the grave. During the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , we used to call it the preventive surah. It is indeed a chapter in the Book of Allah that whoever recites it every night will have increased blessings and goodness.

مَنْ قَرَأَ {تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ} [الملك 1] كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ مَنَعَهُ اللهُ بِهَا مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَكُنَّا فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نُسَمِّيهَا الْمَانِعَةَ وَإِنَّهَا فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ سُورَةٌ مَنْ قَرَأَ بِهَا فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَدْ أَكْثَرَ وَأَطَابَ مُخْتَصَرٌ

"The Messenger of Allah used to fast until we said: 'He does not want to break his fast.' And he used not to fast until we said: 'He does not want to fast."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2347)

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَصُومَ وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَالزُّمَرَ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite al-Musabbihat before going to sleep, and say: They contain a verse which is better than a thousand verses. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5057)

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ الْمُسَبِّحَاتِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْقُدَ وَيَقُولُ «إِنَّ فِيهَا أَيَّةً أَفْضَلَ مِنْ أَلْفِ آيَةٍ»

that the Prophet ﷺ would recite the Musabbihat (Chapters 17, 57, 59, 61, 62, 64 & 87) before sleep and say "Indeed there is an Ayah in them that is better than one thousand Ayat." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2921)

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to not sleep until he recited the Tasbeehaat and said, "Indeed, in them is a verse like a thousand verses." Muawiyah said, "Indeed, some of the scholars used to consider the Tasbeehaat to be six: Surah Al-Hadeed, Surah Al-Hashr, Surah Al-Hawariyun, Surah Al-Jumu'ah, Surah Al-Taghabun, and Surah Al-Ala." Abu Abdullah Al-Rahman said, "I found on the margin of the book with the footnotes of this Hadith a black spot, so because of that, I did not write down "haddathana" (meaning "he narrated to us").

A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Teach me to read the Qur'an, Messenger of Allah. He said: Read three surahs which begin with A.L.R. He said: My age is advanced, my mind has become dull (i.e. memory has grown weak), and my tongue has grown heavy). So he said: Then read three surahs which begin with H.M. He repeated the same words. So he said: Read three surahs which begin with the "Glorification of Allah". But he repeated the same excuse. The man then said: Teach me a comprehensive surah, Messenger of Allah. The Prophet ﷺ taught him Surah (99). "When the Earth is shaken with her earthquake". When he finished it, the man said: By Him Who sent you with truth, I shall never add anything to it. Then man then went away. The Prophet ﷺ said twice: The man received salvation. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1399)
