Reading Surah Falaq Before going to bed
In Sahih Al-Bukhari hadith 6319 Aisha reported that The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) before going to bed, used to blow on his hands while reciting the Mu’awwidhatayn (both Qul Auzu bi rabbin naas and qul auzu bi rabbil falaq) and then pass his hands over his body.
THE POWER OF THESE AYAT
In Jami At Tirmidhi 2902, Narrated Uqbah bin ‘Amir Al-Juhani: that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Some Ayat have been revealed to me the likes of which have not been seen: Qul A’udhu Birabbin-Nas until the end of the Surah and Qul A’udhu Birabbil-Falaq until the end of the Surah.
Reciting Falaq and Nas Three Times
Abdullah bin Khubaib reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me, “Recite Surat Al-Ikhlas and Al- Mu’awwidhatain (Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Nas) three times at dawn and dusk. It will suffice you in all respects.” [Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].
