Section: By Blowing into your Cupped Hands and Reciting

Aishah (Ra) said: “Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) went to bed each night, he used to cup his hands together, blow into them and then recite into them Surah Al-Ikhlās, Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Nas-and then wipe his hands over whatever parts of his body he was able to wipe, starting with his head, face and the front of his body. He used to do that three times." [Bukhari, 5017]This blowing does not require the expelling of saliva from the mouth except a very light amount (if at all) and can be considered a blowing from the lips.Surah Al-Ikhlasبِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِقُلْ هُوَ اللَّـهُ أَحَدٌ ﴿١﴾ اللَّـهُ الصَّمَدُ ﴿٢﴾ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ ﴿٣﴾ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ ﴿٤﴾Translation: (1) Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One, (2) Allah, the Eternal Refuge. (3) He neither begets nor is born, (4) Nor is there to Him any equivalent." (Sura Ikhlas: 1-4)Surah Al-Falaqبِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ ﴿١﴾ مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ ﴿٢﴾ وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ ﴿٣﴾ وَمِن شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ ﴿٤﴾ وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ ﴿٥﴾Translation: (1) Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak (2) From the evil of that which He created (3) And from the evil of darkness when it settles (4) And from the evil of the blowers in knots (5) And from the evil of an envier when he envies." (Sura Falaq: 1-5)Surah An-Nasبِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ ﴿١﴾ مَلِكِ النَّاسِ ﴿٢﴾ إِلَـٰهِ النَّاسِ ﴿٣﴾ مِن شَرِّ الْوَسْوَاسِ الْخَنَّاسِ ﴿٤﴾ الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ ﴿٥﴾ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ ﴿٦﴾Translation: (1) Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, (2) The Sovereign of mankind. (3) The ilah of mankind, (4) From the evil of the retreating whisperer - (5) Who whispers [evil] into the breasts of mankind - (6) From among the jinn and mankind." (Sura Nas: 1-6)
