"عَنْ مُرَّةَ عَنِ ابِن مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: تُوُفِّىَ رَجُلٌ فَأتَى مِنْ جَانِبِ قَبْرِهِ فَجَعَلَتْ سُورَةٌ مِنَ القُرآنِ تُجَادِلُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى مَنَعتْهُ، قَالَ: فَنَظَرْتُ أَنَا وَمَسْرُوقٌ فَإذَا هِىَ تَبَارَكَ. في كِتَابِ عَذَابِ القَبْرِ أُتِىَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَأسِهِ فَقَالَتْ: لَا سَبِيلَ لَكُمْ عَلَىَّ إِنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ وَعَى فِى سُورَةِ المُلْكِ وَأُتِىَ مِنْ قِبلِ رِجْلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ رِجْلَاهُ: لَا سَبيلَ لَكُمْ عَلَىَّ إِنَهُ يَقُومُ بِسُورَةِ المُلْكِ فَمَنَعَتْهُ بِإذْنِ اللهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ القَبْرِ وَهِىَ فِى التَّوْرَاةِ سوَرةُ المُلْكِ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا فِى لَيْلَةٍ كَانَ أَكْثَرَ وَأَطْيَبَ".

[Machine] The man is brought to his grave and his legs are brought to him. His legs say, "You have no way over what is in front of me. He used to stand and recite Surah Al-Mulk with me." Then, he is approached from the direction of his chest or stomach, and he says, "You have no way over what is in front of me. He used to recite Surah Al-Mulk with me." Then, his head is approached and he says, "You have no way over what is in front of me. He used to recite Surah Al-Mulk with me." The narration says, "It is the protector from the punishment of the grave, and it is in the Torah, the Surah Al-Mulk. Whoever recites it at night has multiplied and gained much."  

الحاكم:٣٨٣٩أَخْبَرَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ حَلِيمٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ أَنْبَأَ أَبُو الْمُوَجِّهِ أَنْبَأَ عَبْدَانُ أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَنْبَأَ سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرٍّ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ

يُؤْتَى الرَّجُلُ فِي قَبْرِهِ فَتُؤْتَى رِجْلَاهُ فَتَقُولُ رِجْلَاهُ لَيْسَ لَكُمْ عَلَى مَا قِبَلِي سَبِيلٌ كَانَ يَقُومُ يَقْرَأُ بِي سُورَةَ الْمُلْكِ ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى مِنْ قِبَلِ صَدْرِهِ أَوْ قَالَ بَطْنِهِ فَيَقُولُ لَيْسَ لَكُمْ عَلَى مَا قِبَلِي سَبِيلٌ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ بِي سُورَةَ الْمُلْكِ ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى رَأْسُهُ فَيَقُولُ لَيْسَ لَكُمْ عَلَى مَا قِبَلِي سَبِيلٌ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ بِي سُورَةَ الْمُلْكِ قَالَ فَهِيَ الْمَانِعَةُ تَمْنَعُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَهِيَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ سُورَةُ الْمُلْكِ وَمَنْ قَرَأَهَا فِي لَيْلَةٍ فَقَدْ أَكْثَرَ وَأَطْنَبَ

[Machine] The man is brought to his grave and his legs are brought forth and they say to him, "You have no power over what we did to you from the path that you used to recite upon us Surah Al-Mulk." Then his stomach is brought forth and it says, "You have no power over me in the way that you used to recite upon me Surah Al-Mulk." Then his head is brought forth and it says, "You have no power over what I did before, as you used to recite Surah Al-Mulk upon me." Abdullah said, "This is the preventative that prevents the punishment of the grave and it is Surah Al-Mulk in the Torah. Whoever recites it in a night, it will be more abundant and fragrant."

يُؤْتَى الرَّجُلُ فِي قَبْرِهِ فَيُؤْتَى رِجْلَاهُ فَيَقُولَانِ لَيْسَ لَكُمْ عَلَى مَا قِبَلَنَا مِنْ سَبِيلٍ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْنَا سُورَةَ الْمُلْكِ ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى جَوْفُهُ فَيَقُولُ لَيْسَ لَكُمْ عَلَيَّ سَبِيلٌ قَدْ كَانَ وَعَى فِيَّ سُورَةَ الْمُلْكِ ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى مِنْ رَأْسِهِ فَيَقُولُ لَيْسَ لَكُمْ عَلَى مَا قِبَلِي سَبِيلٌ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِيَّ سُورَةَ الْمُلْكِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «فَهِيَ الْمَانِعَةُ تَمْنَعُ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ وَهِي فِي التَّوْرَاةِ هَذِهِ سُورَةُ الْمُلْكِ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا فِي لَيْلَةٍ أَكْثَرَ وَأَطْيَبَ»
