Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man heard another reciting Surat Al-Ikhlas
repeatedly. The next morning he came to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and informed him about it as if he
considered it to be of little reward. On that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
By Him in Whose Hand my soul
is, this Surah is equal to one-third of the Qur'an
.''
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary:
"
Yataqalluha
'' means he thought that its recitation had no special merits. The Prophet (PBUH)
clarified his misunderstanding by elucidating its eminence.

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man said: "O Messenger of Allah! I love Surat-Al-Ikhlas
[Say: He is Allah, (the) One].'' He (PBUH) said, "
Your love for it will admit you to Jannah
.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
Some scholars have highlighted the eminence of Surat Al-Ikhlas by saying that it comprises the
whole discipline of Tauhid. This Surat deals with Tauhid. Many other reasons have also been given for its great
eminence by Muslim scholars.

`Uqbah bin `Amir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "
Do you
not know that last night certain Ayat were revealed the like of which there is no precedence. They are: `Say: I seek
refuge with (Allah) the Rubb of the daybreak' (Surah 113), and `Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Rubb of
mankind' (Surah 114)
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
"
Alam tara
'' means "
Have not you seen?
'' or "
Are you not aware?
''
"
There is no precedence
'' means that there is no other complete Surat in the Qur'an on this subject, except these two.
For this reason these two Surat are called (
Al-Mu`awwidhatain
) which means two Surat which we use to seek
Allah's protection.

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to
seek protection against the evil of jinn and the evil eyes till Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Nas were revealed. After
they were revealed, he took to them for seeking Allah's protection and left everything besides them
.
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
Like men, jinns have also good and bad elements among them. Almighty Allah has endowed them
with such power that if they want they can, with the Will of Allah, harm human beings. This is the reason
mischievous jinns harm people. Similarly, influence of the evil eye is also true. What it means is that if a person
looks at someone with greed and envy, the evil effects of his look will reach the person viewed, and because of that
he has to suffer some loss or trouble or accident. For this reason, the Prophet (PBUH) would seek the protection of
Allah against the jinns and the evil eye and pray in his own words for it, saying: "
I seek Your protection against
jinns and evil eyes of the people.
'' After the revelation of the Surah Al-Falaq and An-Nas (
last two Surah of the
Quran
) he started reciting them because these were revealed for this purpose. These Surah are also called "
Al-
Mu`awwidhatain
'' which mean two Surah which provide protection. It is, therefore, very useful to seek the
protection of Allah by reciting them.
