Aishah (ra) said: “The Prophet (pbuh) would not go to sleep until he had recited Bani Israa’eel (Surat al-Isra’) and al-Zumar.”
[Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (3402) who said: it is a Hasan Hadith. It was also classed as Hasan by al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar in Nataa'ij al-Afkaar (3/65), and it was classed as Sahih by al-Albaani in Sahih al-Tirmidhi]
Commentary:
We benefit from the above Hadith that the Prophet (pbuh) used to recite these two great surah’s before going to sleep.
The themes and topics of Surat al-Isra’ is a wonderful combination of warning, admonition and instruction, which have been blended together in a balanced proportion.
The themes and topics of Surat al-Zumar is a most eloquent and effective address which was given some time before the emigration to Habash, in an environment filled with tyranny and persecution, ill-will and antagonism, at Makkah. It is a sermon whose addressees mainly are the unbelieving Quraish, although here and there the believers also have been addressed.
And Allah knows best!
