﴿الم تَنزِيلَ﴾
(Alif Lam Mim. The revelation of...), As-Sajdah, and
﴿هَلْ أَتَى عَلَى الإِنسَـنِ﴾
(Has there not been over man...)Al-Insan (76).'' This was also recorded by Muslim. Imam Ahmad recorded that Jabir said, "The Prophet would never sleep until he recited:
﴿الم تَنزِيلَ﴾
(Alif Lam Mim. The revelation of...), As-Sajdah, and
﴿تَبَارَكَ الَّذِى بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ﴾
(Blessed be He in Whose Hand is the dominion) Al-Mulk (67).''
