12 وَجَدْتُ فِي بَعْضِ الْكُتُبِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ [الْفُضَيْلِ] قَالَ قَالَ مَنْ قَرَأَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ مُؤْمِنٍ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ مَلَكاً يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ عِنْدَ قَبْرِهِ وَ يُكْتَبُ لَهُ وَ لِلْمَيِّتِ ثَوَابُ مَا يَعْمَلُ ذَلِكَ الْمَلَكُ فَإِذَا بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ قَبْرِهِ لَمْ يَمُرَّ عَلَى هَوْلٍ إِلَّا صَرَفَهُ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِذَلِكَ الْمَلَكِ الْمُوَكَّلِ حَتَّى يُدْخِلَهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَ يَقْرَأُ مَعَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ سُورَةَ الْحَمْدِ وَ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ كُلَّ سُورَةٍ وَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ تَقْرَأُ بَعْدَ الْحَمْدِ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ سَبْعاً وَ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ ثَلَاثاً ثَلَاثاً

12. I found in some books that Muḥammad ibn Sinān narrated from Mufaďďal/Fuďayl, who said: If someone recites “Innā Anzalnāh” seven times next to the grave of a believer, Allāh will send an angel to that grave who will worship Allāh next to it. The rewards for this worship will be registered for the one who is dead and (also) for him (the person who came to visit the grave of the believer). When this believer will be resurrected, he will not undergo any terror without Allāh removing it from him through the angel who was dedicated to his grave, and he will enter Paradise in the company of that angel. He added, “(When you go to the graves of the believers), recite (the chapter of) Al-Ḥamd one time, (the chapter of) Innā Anzalnāh seven times, then recite the Mu’awwadhatayn, (the chapter of) Qul Huwallāhu Aḥad, and Ayatul Kursī, each three times.”
