Q: What is the correct method of practising on this Hadith? Is it three times each?
Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn Khubayb (radiyallahu’anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said: ‘…Recite Qul huwallahu Ahad, Qul A’udhu bi Rabbil Falaq and Qul A’udhu bi Rabbin Nas, thrice every morning and evening. It will suffice you for everything.’
(Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 5041 and Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 3575) Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) has declared this Hadith authentic (Hasan Sahih Gharib) . ‘Allamah Nawawi (rahimahullah) has also declared it authentic (sahih). Refer: Al-Adhkar, Hadith: 216.
A: The Hadith explains reciting the three Quls thrice in the morning and evening. We have not come across any specific sequence mentioned in the Hadith for reciting the three Quls in the morning and evening. Hence, you may recite each surah of the three Quls thrice before commencing the next surah, or you may recite the three Quls three times.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
