3402. 'Āishah narrated that every night, when the Prophet ﷺ would go to his bed, he would join his hands, then blow in them, as[1] he
recited in them: "Say: He is Allāh, the One."[1] and "Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of Al-Falaq"[2] and "Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind."[3] Then he would wipe as much as he was able to of his body with them, beginning with them first on his head and face, and the front of his body. He would do this three times. (Saḥīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Gharīb Saḥīh.

Commentary
Sūrat Al-Ikhlāṣ contains and explains the subject of the Unity of Allāh ﷻ which is the central theme of the Qur'ān and last two Sūrat Al-Falaq and An-Nās fill all other gaps and openings from where the Oneness of Allāh ﷻ can be attacked.
