Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. You ask and say: Is it true that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Surat Yasin when he left with Abu Bakr for the Hijrah? And is it permissible for me to recite it with measured recitation when visiting someone, or traveling, or meeting someone I fear? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There is no report that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Surat Yasin when he set out for the migration. Rather, it is reported that he recited the beginning of this surah,[Ya-Sin 36:9] and he sprinkled dust over their heads, (peace and blessings be upon him), and he left them while they were unaware. Yes.

وَجَعَلْنَا مِن بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ سَدًّا وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدًّا فَأَغْشَيْنَاهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ
