[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
