Treatment of the oppression of jinn during sleep

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa number ( 16063 )
Q 1: Every night, or almost every night, when I am about to sleep, a jinn comes to me and causes all the limbs of my body to become stiff. This lasts for about three minutes or less. I have learned from some of my brothers that this is called: (possession by jinn), but I do not know how to get rid of it. I ask you, Your Eminence, to clarify how to get rid of this possession. This also causes many waswas (whispers) regarding Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
A 1 : Regarding what you mentioned that befalls you when you sleep, its treatment is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided to, which is to recite (Ayat al-Kursi) once, and
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
[Al-Ikhlas 112:1]
, and
Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreakقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ
[Al-Falaq 113:1]
, and
Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ
[An-Nas 114:1]
three times. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed that whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi when going to sleep once, a protector from Allah will remain over him, and no Shaytan will approach him until he rises. It is authentic from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he guided some of his Companions to recite the three Surahs mentioned when going to sleep, and he said:
It is sufficient for you from everythingإنها تكفيك من كل شيء
. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and his Companions.
