Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 8618 — A man died, and the angels of punishment

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّبَرِيُّ، أَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: " مَاتَ رَجُلٌ فَجَاءَتْهُ مَلَائِكَةُ الْعَذَابِ فَجَلَسُوا عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ فَقَالَ: لَا سَبِيلَ لَكُمْ إِلَيْهِ، قَدْ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْمُلْكِ، فَجَلَسُوا عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: لَا سَبِيلَ لَكُمْ إِلَيْهِ قَدْ كَانَ يَقُومُ عَلَيْنَا بِسُورَةِ الْمُلْكِ، فَجَلَسُوا عِنْدَ بَطْنِهِ فَقَالَ: لَا سَبِيلَ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُ قَدْ وَعَى فِيَّ سُورَةَ الْمُلْكِ، فَسُمِّيَتِ الْمَانِعَةَ "
Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "A man died, and the angels of punishment came to him and sat at his head. It (the head) spoke up: 'You have no way to him; he used to recite Surah al-Mulk.' They sat at his feet, and they (the feet) spoke up: 'You have no way to him; he used to stand upon us (in prayer) reciting Surah al-Mulk.' Then they sat at his belly, and it (the belly) spoke up: 'You have no way to him; he kept Surah al-Mulk preserved within me.' So this surah was named al-Mani'ah (the Protector)."
