Aishah reported: Whenever the Messenger of Allah SAW went to bed, he would blow upon his hands recite Al-Mu‘awwidhat; and pass his hands over his body. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Benefits of Reciting Mu’awwidhatayn (Surah Falaq and Surah Nas)

A’ishah reported that the Prophet (SAW) would recite Surah al-Ikhlas, Surah al-Falaq, and Surah an-Nas before bed, blow into his hands, and wipe them over his body.

He did this three times. When he fell ill, he would recite al-Mu’awwidhatayn and blow over his body. A’ishah would also recite them over him when his pain worsened.

Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri reported that the Prophet (SAW) used to seek protection from evil eyes and jinn, but after al-Mu’awwidhatayn were revealed, he relied solely on them for protection.

These two surahs provide refuge from all kinds of evil and can be recited in any situation where harm is feared. They remind believers to trust in Allah alone. Surah al-Falaq addresses external evils, while Surah an-Nas deals with internal evil.

At-Tirmidhi reported that the Prophet (SAW) used to seek protection from Al-Jann, the Chief Jinn, and the evil eye until al-Mu’awwidhatayn were revealed. Afterward, he relied solely on them for protection.

These chapters were revealed when a spell was cast on the Prophet by a Jew. Jibreel exorcised him using these surahs, and Allah freed him from the spell’s effect. The Prophet said, “You have not sought refuge with anything like them.”

Reciting Mu’awwidhatayn brings numerous benefits, including protection from evil, trust in Allah, and relief from harm.
