Dari Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu ‘anhu bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam bersabda,
سُورَةٌ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ثَلاَثُونَ آيَةً تَشْفَعُ لِصَاحِبِهَا حَتَّى يُغْفَرَ لَهُ {تَبَارَكَ الَّذِى بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ}. وفي رواية: فأخرجته من النار و أدخلته الجنة »
“Satu surat dalam al-Qur’an (yang terdiri dari) tiga puluh ayat (pada hari kiamat) akan memberi syafa’at (dengan izin Allah Ta’ala) bagi orang yang selalu membacanya (dengan merenungkan artinya) sehingga Allah mengampuni (dosa-dosa)nya, (yaitu surat al-Mulk): “Maha Suci Allah Yang di tangan-Nyalah segala kerajaan/kekuasaan, dan Dia Maha Kuasa atas segala sesuatu”. Dalam riwayat lain: “…sehingga dia dikeluarkan dari neraka dan dimasukkan ke dalam surga”.
[And] who created seven heavens in layers. You do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency. So return [your] vision [to the sky]; do you see any breaks?
And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.
Or do you feel secure that He who [holds authority] in the heaven would not send against you a storm of stones? Then you would know how [severe] was My warning.
Do they not see the birds above them with wings outspread and [sometimes] folded in? None holds them [aloft] except the Most Merciful. Indeed He is, of all things, Seeing.
But when they see it approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will be distressed, and it will be said, "This is that for which you used to call."
Say, [O Muhammad], "Have you considered: whether Allah should cause my death and those with me or have mercy upon us, who can protect the disbelievers from a painful punishment?"
