3875 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ شُرَحْبِيلَ قَالَا: أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ نَفَثَ فِي يَدَيْهِ، وَقَرَأَ بِالْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ وَمَسَحَ بِهِمَا جَسَدَهُ»

Commentary
a. Another narration reads that the Prophet ﷺ, used to cup his hands together and blow over them, after reciting Surat Al-Ikhlâs, Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Nâs, and then rub his hands over whatever parts of his body he was able to rub, starting with his head, face and front of his body. He used to do that three times. (See Sahih Al-Bukhârî: 5017) b. Before going to bed, one should recite the chapters as mentioned above to get the reward of following the Sunnah, and to get the protection of Allâh as well.
