❑ It is related that Abu Huraira said, “The Messenger of God (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, ‘Whoever recites, when he wakes up, the chapter Ha Mim until [t: the verse ending] ilayhi al-masir and the Throne verse (ayat al-kursi) is protected, through them, until the evening; and whoever recites them at evening time is protected, through them, until morning.’” [Tirmidhi]

❑It is related that Abu Hurayra said, “The Messenger of God (Allah bless him and give him peace) put me in charge of guarding the alms (zakat) of Ramadan. Someone came to me and began to take handfuls of food. I grabbed him and said, ‘By Allah, I will take you to the Messenger of God!’ –and he mentioned the narration – “He said, ‘When you go to bed, recite the Throne verse (ayat al-kursi), and you will have someone guarding over you from Allah and Satan will not come near you until morning.’ The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘He told you the truth even though he is a liar. That was Satan.'” [Bukhari]
