Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions that came to the program, this questioner says: I read that whoever recites Surat al-Mulk when he goes to sleep at night is protected from the punishment of the grave. What is the virtue of Surat al-Mulk? And is this a hadith?
Answer:
Yes, the hadith regarding the virtue of Surat al-Mulk and that it is the one that saves, where a man recited it and Allah lifted the punishment of the grave from him, meaning that when he died, Allah lifted the punishment of the grave from him because of his recitation of it during his lifetime, and it is called the one that saves. This is established in the hadith. However, regarding the timing of its recitation at sleep, I do not know of any evidence for that. He should recite it regularly in all his circumstances, not specifically at sleep. Yes.
