1. "Whoever recites Ayatul Kursi at the end of every obligatory
salaah, he will be under the protection of Allah till the next
salaah." [Classified as Hassan by Ibn al-Qayyim, as saheeh by Ibn Baz
& as weak by al-Albani]

nothingwill be standing between him and Paradise except death."

3. Story of Ubbay bin Ka'b and the jinn: Ubbay bin Ka'b(ra) stated
that he used to have a room of dates. He suspected that some dates
were going missing. Thus one night he stood vigil and saw an animal
like a young person. Ubbay(ra) said: "I greeted and received a reply".
I asked, "Who are you? A man or Jinn?" He said, "Jinn. I said, give
me you hand". He outstretched his hands. I noticed that the hand was
like that of a dog. Its hair like the hair of the dog. I asked, "Are
Jinns created like this?" He said, "The Jinns know that there is none
among them who is stronger than me". I inquired, "Why did you
steal?" He replied, "I have come to know that you love to give charity
so decided to take some of your food.
"Ubbay(ra) said: "What will save us from you? He said, 'Ayatul Kursi
which is in Surah al-Baqarah. He who reads it at night will be saved
from our evil till the morning and he who reads it in the morning will
be saved from our eviltill the night'."
Ubbay(ra) said: I went to the Messenger of Allah (sws) in the morning
and told him about my story. He(sws) said: "The evil onehas said the
truth."[Nasai'/Ibn Hibban Tabarni/Al-Hakim] Lesson: Rasul(sws)'s
approval of this made the reading of Ayatul Qursi every morning and
evening a Sunnah.
