RECITATION OF THE LAST THREE CHAPTERS OF THE KORAN

1493

“When the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, went to bed he would cup his hands and blow upon his palms and recite the last two chapters of the Koran and then pass his hands over his body.”

We are also informed:

“He would cup his hands, blow upon them and recite the last three chapters of the Koran into them and then pass them over his body beginning with his head and face and then the front of his body. He did this three times.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Lady Ayesha, wife of the Prophet, may Allah be pleased with her, Mother of Believers who related this.
