Treatment of choking and paralysis during sleep

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, I often see in my sleep that I am afflicted with choking and complete paralysis of the body, so I seek refuge in Allah and recite the Verse of the Throne until I wake up. This matter bothers me greatly, and I do not know what its treatment is, knowing that it happens most often when I sleep during the day. I ask for your guidance on the treatment. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The treatment is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) guided us to: when you go to sleep, you recite the Verse of the Throne, for whoever recites it, no Shaytan will approach him, and a guardian from Allah will remain with him until he wakes up. You recite the Verse of the Throne, and with it you recite Surat al-Ikhlas and the two Mu'awwidhat:
Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreakقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ
[Al-Falaq 113:1]
,
Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ
[An-Nas 114:1]
, and you perform the prescribed seeking of refuge when going to sleep, and the Shaytan will be kept away from you by the permission of Allah. Yes.
