Method of Protection from Shaytan During Sleep
Authored by: Dr. Raza Abdullah Pasha (Hafizahullah)
❖ Question:
How can I protect myself from Shaytan during sleep?
❖ Answer:
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (RA):
«إذا اٰويت إلى فراشك فأقرأ آية الكرسي فإنه لن يزال عليك من الله حافظ، ولا يقربك شيطان. فأخبرت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: أما إنه صدقك وهو كذوب»
"When you go to bed, recite Ayat al-Kursi. There will remain with you a protector from Allah, and no Shaytan will come near you until morning."
When Abu Hurairah (RA) informed the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) of this, he (ﷺ) said:
"Indeed, he told you the truth though he is a liar."
[Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith no. 3101]
