The Filthy one has spoken the truth!
As salaamu alaikum wa ramatu Allah wa barakatu beloved sisters and brothers,
Bismillah,
“Allah none has the right to be worshipped but Him, the Ever Living the One Who sustains and protects all that exists, He is not overtaken by slumber or sleep, to Him belongs what is in the heavens and on the earth. Who is the one who can intercede for another except by His permission? He knows what will happen to them and what will happen to them in the next life. Nothing can encompass His knowledge unless He desires. His foot stool extends over the heavens and the earth and He is not fatigued in protecting what is in them both. Allah is the Most High, the Most Great.” {Soorat-ul-Baqarah: 255}
It is a protection against the jinn as it was related by Ubayy bin Ka’b-(may Allah be pleased with him) who had a vessel of dates that was decreasing, so one night he decided to stand guard over it when a creature resembling a teenage boy approached him and gave the salaams. So when he returned the salaams to him he asked, “Are you a jinn or a human?” He replied, “I am a jinn.” So Ubayy said, “Hold out your hand to me.” So he held out his hand to him and saw that his hand was that of a dog’s paw and his hair was dog’s fur! Ubayy asked him, “Do all the jinn look like this?” He said, “I know no one among the jinn who is stronger than I.” Ubayy then said, “What made you do what you did?” He said, “We heard that you are a man who loves charity, and we wanted to have a portion of your food.” Ubayy asked him, “What will protect us from you?” He said, “The verse that is in Soorat-ul-Baqarah {Allah there is nothing worthy of worship except for Him, the Ever Living the One Who sustains and protects all that exists…}, whoever recites it in the evening will be protected from us until the morning, and whoever recites it in the morning will be protected from us until the evening.” So when it was dawn the Messenger of Allah came and I mentioned to him what that jinn had informed me of, he replied,” The Filthy one has spoken the truth.” It was related by at-Tabaraanee in al-Kabeer (#541) with a good chain of transmission with its own wording, al-Mundhiree also related the text in at-Targheeb (#662), Ibn Hibaan related it in his Saheeh (#784), al-Haythamee mentioned it in al-Majma’ (#17012) saying: Its men (of narration) are all reliable, and Shaykh al-Albaanee (may Allah have mercy upon him) authenticated it in at-Targheeb (#662).
The meaning of his statement: ((…resembling a teenage boy)) is a boy having reached the age of maturity. And his statement: ((…will be protected from us)) means that he will be saved from us and distanced from our mischief and evil.
And it is the cause for Allah to protect his servant as it was related by al-Bukharee in the narration of Aboo Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) when he said: He (regarding the narration of the dates of sadaqah) said to me, “When you retire to your bed then recite the Aayat-ul-Kursee from the beginning to end.” And he also said to me, “Allah will continue to be a Protector for you and the shaytaan will not come near you until the morning.” The Prophet said, “…as for this person then he has informed you of something true but he himself is a liar, do you know who was addressing you for the past three nights Aboo Hurayrah?” He said, “No.” He responded, “That was Shaytaan.” Related by al-Bukhaaree in his Saheeh (#2311).
And it causes one to enter Paradise by the Mercy of Allah. He said, “Whoever recites Aayat-ul-Kursee at the completion of every prescribed prayer will have be nothing standing between him and his entering the Paradise except for death.” Related by an-Nisaaee in al-Kubraa (#9928), Ibn as-Sunee in ‘Amalul-Yawmi wa Laylah (#124) and it was authenticated by al-Albaanee in Saheeh-ul-Jaami’ (#6464) and Silsalatus-Saheehah (#982).
