Ayat al-Kursi before sleep

Monday, May 23, 1988

إِذَا أَوَيْتَ إِلَى فِرَاشِكَ فَاقْرَأْ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ، فَإِنَّهُ لَنْ يَزَالَ عَلَيْكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ حَافِظٌ، وَلَا يَقْرَبَكَ شَيْطَانٌ حَتَّى تُصْبِحَ
Transliteration

Idha awayta ila firashika fa-qra' ayata-l-kursiyy, fa-innahu lan yazala alayka mina-llahi hafidh, wa la yaqrabaka shaytanun hatta tusbih.

Translation

When you go to your bed, recite Ayat al-Kursi. A guardian from Allah will be with you, and Satan will not come near you until morning.

Narrated by Abu Hurayrah·Sahih al-Bukhari 2311
Reflection

The story is famous: Abu Hurayrah catches a thief stealing zakat. The thief teaches him this verse. The thief turns out to be Shaytan. The Prophet ﷺ confirms: he taught you the truth, even though he is a liar.

One saying of the Prophet ﷺ a day.

Pair this with the daily verse, the 99 Names, and a few beads of dhikr. Small things, repeated, leave the deepest mark.
