Jami at-Tirmidhi 2890 (Book 45, Hadith 16) #28538
Reciting Surah al-Mulk for Protection in the Grave

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a companion of the Prophet who pitched his tent on a grave without knowing it was one. He then heard someone reciting Surah al-Mulk from the grave and went to tell the Prophet about it. The Prophet said that this person was being defended and delivered from punishment in the grave.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: "One of the companions of the Prophet pitched a tent on a grave without knowing that it was a grave. Suddenly he heard a person from the grave reciting Surah al-Mulk till he completed it. So he went to the Prophet and said: 'Oh Messenger of Allah, I pitched my tent on a grave without realizing that is was a grave. Then suddenly I heard a person from the grave reciting Surah al-Mulk till he completed it'. The Messenger of Allah said: 'It is the defender, it is the deliverer - it delivers from the punishment of the grave'."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّوَارِبِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَالِكٍ النُّكْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْجَوْزَاءِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ ضَرَبَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ خِبَاءَهُ عَلَى قَبْرٍ وَهُوَ لاَ يَحْسِبُ أَنَّهُ قَبْرٌ فَإِذَا فِيهِ إِنْسَانٌ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي ضَرَبْتُ خِبَائِي عَلَى قَبْرٍ وَأَنَا لاَ أَحْسِبُ أَنَّهُ قَبْرٌ فَإِذَا فِيهِ إِنْسَانٌ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ تَبَارَكَ الْمُلْكُ حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ هِيَ الْمَانِعَةُ هِيَ الْمُنْجِيَةُ تُنْجِيهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us that reciting Surah al-Mulk can protect us from punishment in our graves after we die. It is narrated by Ibn 'Abbas, one of the companions of Prophet Muhammad, who told him about an incident where he pitched his tent on a grave without knowing it was one. Suddenly he heard someone reciting Surah al-Mulk until they finished it, so he went to tell the Prophet what happened. The Prophet said that this person was being defended and delivered from punishment in their grave because they were reciting Surah al-Mulk. This teaches us that if we recite this surah regularly, Allah will protect us from any harm or punishment when we are buried in our graves after death.
