Special Virtues of the Qur'an's Chapters and Verses 87

Muʿādh ibn ʿAbdullāh ibn Khubayb reported from his father, who said: ‘We went out on a rainy night of intense darkness, seeking the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to lead us in prayer.’ He said: ‘I caught up with him, and he said, “Say.” I said nothing. Then he said, “Say,” and I said nothing. He said, “Say,” once more. I asked, “What should I say?” He replied, “Say: ‘He is Allah, the One’ (Sūrat al-Ikhlāṣ) and the two protective sūrahs, in the evening and the morning, three times; they will suffice you against everything.”’
