Benefits of Surah al Falaq (113)

The Prophet said, ‘O Uqba, learn to recite Surah
al Falaq, for you would never recite a surah more
cherished by Allah and more profound in His sight
that this surah’
[Durais, Ibn al Anbari, Hakim, Dhahabi & Ibn
Mardawaih]
The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) used to
seek refuge from the jinn as well as from the evil
eye until Surah al Falaq and An Naas were
revealed. When they were sent down, he utilised
them and left other things.
[at-Tirmidhi #1984, Riyad as-Salihin by Imam
an-Nawawi Ch.183 #1014]
‘Uqba ibn ‘Amir reported that the Messenger of
Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, “Have you
not seen the ayats sent down this night the like
of which have never been seen before? ‘Say: I
seek refuge with the Lord of Daybreak,’ and ‘Say:
I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind.’” (113 &
114)
