[Machine] A man died, so the angels of punishment came to him and sat by his head. They said, "You have no way to escape from us. He used to recite Surah Al-Mulk." Then they sat by his feet and said the same. Finally, they sat by his abdomen and said, "You have no way to escape from us. Indeed, he has passed away while Surah Al-Mulk was with him." Thus, he was given the name "Al-Mani'ah" (the Preventer).
