  • Chapter: Upon committing a sin

    Status Reference : Hisn al-Muslim 140

    مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يُذنِبُ ذَنْباً فَيُحْسِنُ الطُّهُورَ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ إِلاَّ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ

  • Chapter: For expelling the devil and his whisperings

    Status Reference : Hisn al-Muslim 143

    الْأَذْكَارُ وَقِرَاءَةُ الْقُرْآنِ


    English Translation:

    —

    Saying words of Allah’s remembrance (Thikr) and recitation of the Qur’an.

    Reference:
    “Do not turn your homes into graveyards, surely the Devil flees from the
    house in which Surat Al-Baqarah is read,” Muslim 1/539. The Devil is also
    driven out by the invocations for morning and evening, those that are said
    before sleeping and upon waking up, those for entering and leaving the
    house, including those for entering and leaving the mosque, and by many
    other authentic invocations taught to us by the Prophet (ﷺ) such as the
    reading of ‘Ayatul-Kursi, (Al-Baqarah 2:255), and the last two ‘Ayat of
    Surat Al-Baqarah before going to sleep. Whoever says: “There is none worthy
    of worship but Allah alone, Who has no partner, His is the dominion and His
    is the praise, and he is Able to do all things,” one hundred times, it will
    be a protection for him from the Devil throughout the day.’
