بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم { قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ * اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ * لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ * لَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ } بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم { قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ * مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ * وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ * وَمِن شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ * وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ } بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم { قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ * مَلِكِ النَّاسِ * إِلَهِ النَّاسِ * مِن شَرِّ الْوَسْوَاسِ الْخَنَّاسِ * الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ * مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ } (ثلاث مرات)
In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. Say: He is Allah, the One. Allah, al-Ṣamad. He neither begets nor is begotten, and none is comparable to Him.
In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak, from the evil of what He created, from the evil of darkness when it settles, from the evil of those who blow upon knots, and from the evil of an envier when he envies.
In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of humankind, the King of humankind, the God of humankind, from the evil of the whisperer who withdraws, who whispers in the breasts of humankind, from among jinn and humankind.
(Three times.)

اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ *
The witness renders al-Ṣamad as “The Self-Sufficient Master”; no approved glossary entry was provided for this term.

(ثلاث مرات)
The Arabic instruction says only “three times”; the witness specifies “each” and “in Arabic.”
Does the count apply to each surah or to the recitation of the three-surah set as a whole?
