The practice of blowing on oneself and its manner in the Sunnah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, is there a report in the Sunnah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to blow upon himself, and how is the blowing done?

Answer:
Yes, it is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he intended to sleep, would cup his hands and blow into them, blowing into them the three surahs: al-Ikhlas and the two Mu'awwidhat (the two chapters of protection). He would then wipe with them the front of his body, wiping with them his face and the front of his body, may peace and blessings be upon him.
