Dhikr for Sleep and Blowing into the Hands with the Mu'awwidhat

The questioner:
That the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in which he advised 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) and Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) to glorify Allah thirty-three times, praise Allah thirty-three times, and magnify Allah thirty-four times,

The Shaykh:
is a sunnah (recommended practice). When going to sleep, one does this: glorifying Allah thirty-three times, praising Allah thirty-three times, and magnifying Allah thirty-four times. This is the sunnah.

The questioner:
After that, meaning, for example, does one recite Ayat al-Kursi and the Mu'awwidhat, or does one blow with one's hands and wipe?

The Shaykh:
Before or after? All of it, I mean, whether before or after, praise be to Allah. One recites on one's own tasbih (prayer beads) and recites the Qur'an in both hands three times, then wipes with them over one's face and the front of one's body, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. He would recite the prescribed invocations for protection and the perfect words of Allah against the evil of what has created, saying "Bismillah, by whom nothing can harm that which He has touched" three times, "O Allah, Lord of the heavens and the earth.
To the end of it. One recites the prescribed invocations, whether before the tasbih or after the tasbih. Yes.

Another questioner:
Mm.

The Shaykh:
One holds [the hands] when reciting "Qul" (Say) regarding sleep or the hands specifically. When one recites "Qul" regarding sleep or the hands, one blows into one's palms, then runs them over one's head, face, and chest, as he used to do when going to sleep. He would recite "Qul" regarding sleep or the hands when going to sleep, especially when he was afflicted, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him. Yes.
