سُورَةُ الْمُلْكِ هِيَ الْمَانِعَةُ تَمْنَعُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَ هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ سُورَةَ الْمُلْكِ وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا فِي لَيْلَتِهِ فَقَدْ أَكْثَرَ وَ أَطَابَ وَ لَمْ يُكْتَبْ بِهَا مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ وَ إِنِّي لَأَرْكَعُ بِهَا بَعْدَ عِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ وَ أَنَا جَالِسٌ وَ إِنَّ وَالِدِي ( عليه السلام ) كَانَ يَقْرَأُهَا فِي يَوْمِهِ وَ لَيْلَتِهِ وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا إِذَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي قَبْرِهِ نَاكِرٌ وَ نَكِيرٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ رِجْلَيْهِ قَالَتْ رِجْلَاهُ لَهُمَا لَيْسَ لَكُمَا إِلَى مَا قِبَلِي سَبِيلٌ قَدْ كَانَ هَذَا الْعَبْدُ يَقُومُ عَلَيَّ فَيَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْمُلْكِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ لَيْلَتِهِ وَ إِذَا أَتَيَاهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ جَوْفِهِ قَالَ لَهُمَا لَيْسَ لَكُمَا إِلَى مَا قِبَلِي سَبِيلٌ قَدْ كَانَ هَذَا الْعَبْدُ أَوْعَانِي سُورَةَ الْمُلْكِ وَ إِذَا أَتَيَاهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ لِسَانِهِ قَالَ لَهُمَا لَيْسَ لَكُمَا إِلَى مَا قِبَلِي سَبِيلٌ قَدْ كَانَ هَذَا الْعَبْدُ يَقْرَأُ بِي فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ لَيْلَةٍ سُورَةَ الْمُلْكِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, altogether from Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel, from Sadeyr, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Surah Al-Mulk (Chapter 67), it is the defender. It defends from the Punishment of the grave. Surah Al-Mulk is Written in the Torah (as well), and the one who recites it during his night, so he would have the abundance, and pleasance, and he would not be Written as being from the neglectful ones due to it. And I<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> tend to bow with it after the last Isha (<span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>) while I<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> am seated, and my<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> father<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> used to recite it during his<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> day and his<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> night; and the one who recites it, when the Nakir and Nakeer (two Questioning Angels) come over to him in his grave from the direction of his left, his leg would say to both of them, ‘There is no way for the two of you from my direction, for it was so that this servant used to stand upon me and he was reciting Surah Al-Mulk during every day and night of his. And when they come over to him from the direction of his middle, it would say to the to both of them, ‘There is no way for the two of you from my direction, as it was so that this servant had sheltered Surah Al-Mulk inside me’. And when they come over from the direction of his tongue, it would say to them both, ‘There is no way for the two of you from my direction, as it was so that this servant used to recite by me, during every day and night, Surah Al-Mulk’.
