Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

by Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Hai Arifi

Mu’awizatan (Surah CXIII & CXIV)

Hadrat Uqba bin Amir (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of ALLAAH said, What wonderful ayat have been sent down tonight! The like of them has never been seen. They are  I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn and  say I seek refuge in the Lord of men. (Surah an - Nas and aI-Falaq-CXIV-CXIII). [Mishkat]

Hadrat Aishah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anha) narrated that every night when the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) went to his bed, he joined his hands and breathed into them, reciting into them.                                                                                    Say He is ALLAAH, one: (Suratul Ikhlas)                   

Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn: (Suratul Falaq - CXIII) and    Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of men CXIV).

Then he would wipe as much of his body as he could with his hands, beginning with head, his face and the front of his body doing that three times. [Mishkat]
