with, the Lord of daybreak." (Sūrat Daybreak 113:1) and; Say: “I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind.” (Sūrat Mankind 114:1) This Hadith was recorded by Ahmad, At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i. At-Tirmidhi said, “Hasan Sahih.” According to Tafsir ibn Kathir, it has been reported from Abu Sa'id that Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him used to seek protection from the evil eyes of the jinn and mankind. But when verses of refuge were revealed, he used them (for protection) and abandoned all else besides them. At-Tirmidhi, An-Nisai and ibn Majah recorded this. Narrated ‘Aisha: “Whenever Allah’s Apostle became sick, he would recite al-Mu'awwidhatayn (Sūrat Daybreak and Sūrat al-Naas) and then blow his breath over his body. When he became seriously ill, I used to recite (these two suras) and rub his hands over his body hoping for its blessings. Relation between Sūrat of Opening and Verses of Refuge Also see: Opening The last thing which is noteworthy with regard to the verses of refuge is the relation between the beginning and the end of the Qur'an. Although the Qur'an has not been arranged chronologically, Muhammed arranged in the present order the verses and suras revealed during 23 years on different occasions to meet different needs and situations. According to this order, the Qur'an opens with the Sūrat Opening and ends with the Mu'awwidhatayn. In the beginning, after praising and glorifying Allah as Lord of the worlds, Kind, Merciful and Master of the Judgment Day, the believer submits: "Lord, You alone I worship and to You alone I turn for help, and the most urgent help that I need from You is to be guided to the Straight Way." In answer, he is given by Allah the whole Qur'an to show him the Straight Way, which is concluded thus: Man prays to Allah, Who is Lord of dawn, Lord of men, King of men, Deity of men, saying: "I seek refuge only with You for protection from every evil and mischief of every creature, and in particular, from the evil whisperings of devils, be they from among men or jinn, for they are the greatest obstacle in following the Straight Way." Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi thus says in his Tafheemul Quran "The relation that the beginning bears with the end, cannot remain hidden from anyone who has understanding and insight."
