Benefits of Surah al Mulk (67)

The Prophet said, ‘There is a surah in the Qur’an
which is only thirty verses. It defended whoever
recited it until it puts him into paradise’ i.e.
Surah al Mulk
[Fath al Qadir 5/257, Sahihul Jamiea 1/680,
Tabrani in Al-Awsat & Ibn Mardawaith]
Abu Huraira (radiAllahu anhu) reported that the
Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam)
said, “The Qur’an contains a surah of thirty ayats
which will intercede for a man until he is forgiven.
It is: ‘Blessed be He who has the Kingdom in His
Hand!’ (67)”
[abu Dawud, Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi, Riyad as-
Salihin by Imam an-Nawawi Ch.183 #1016]
The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said,
‘Surah al Mulk is the protector from the torment
of the grave’
[Sahihul Jamiea 1/680, Hakim 2/498 & Nasai]
Jabir (radiAllahu anhu) said it was the custom of
the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) not to go
to sleep until he had read Tabarakallahi Biyadihil
Mulk and Alif Laam Meem Tanzeel.
[Ahmad, Tirmidhi and Darami]
Anas (radiAllahu anhu) reported Rasulullah
(sallallahu alaiyhi wasalam) as saying, “There is
a Surah which will plead for its reciter till it
causes him to enter paradise (Tabarakallahi
Biyadihil Mulk).”
[at-Tabrani]
Abdullah Ibn ‘Abbas (radiAllahu anhu) reported
that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said,
‘It is my desire/love that Surahtul Mulk should be
in the heart of every Muslim’
[Hakim, al-Hisnul Haseen by the cassical scholar
Muhammad al-Jazri]
Ibn Abbas (radiAllahu anhu) said that one of the
Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam)’s companions
set up his tent over a grave without realising that
it was a grave and it contained a man who was
reciting the Surah Tabarakallahi Biyadihil Mulk up
to the end. He went and told the Prophet
(salAllahu alayhi wasalam) who said, ‘It is The
Defender; it is The Protector which safeguards
from Allah Ta’ala’s punishment’
[at-Tirmidhi]
Khalid bin Madam (tabie) said about surat Al
Mulk and ‘As Sajda that these two surahs will
fight for their reciter in the grave and will say, ‘O
Allah! If we belong to your book, accept our
intercession in his favour. In case we do not, get
us obliterated. These surahs will spread their
wings like birds and will save the person from the
torment of the grave.’
[Mishkat al-Misbah]
It was narrated that Abdullah ibn Mas’ud said:
Whoever reads Tabarakallahi Biyadihil Mulk [i.e.
Surah al-Mulk] every night, Allah will protect him
from the torment of the grave. At the time of the
Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaiyhi wasalam)
we used to call it al-mani’ah (that which
protects). In the Book of Allah it is a surah which,
whoever recites it every night has done very well.
