"عَنْ مُرَّةَ عَنِ ابِن مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: تُوُفِّىَ رَجُلٌ فَأتَى مِنْ جَانِبِ قَبْرِهِ فَجَعَلَتْ سُورَةٌ مِنَ القُرآنِ تُجَادِلُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى مَنَعتْهُ، قَالَ: فَنَظَرْتُ أَنَا وَمَسْرُوقٌ فَإذَا هِىَ تَبَارَكَ. في كِتَابِ عَذَابِ القَبْرِ أُتِىَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَأسِهِ فَقَالَتْ: لَا سَبِيلَ لَكُمْ عَلَىَّ إِنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ وَعَى فِى سُورَةِ المُلْكِ وَأُتِىَ مِنْ قِبلِ رِجْلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ رِجْلَاهُ: لَا سَبيلَ لَكُمْ عَلَىَّ إِنَهُ يَقُومُ بِسُورَةِ المُلْكِ فَمَنَعَتْهُ بِإذْنِ اللهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ القَبْرِ وَهِىَ فِى التَّوْرَاةِ سوَرةُ المُلْكِ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا فِى لَيْلَةٍ كَانَ أَكْثَرَ وَأَطْيَبَ".

"From Murrah, from Ibn Mas'ud, who said: A man died, and a surah of the Quran came to the side of his grave and kept arguing on his behalf until it prevented (the punishment) from him. He said: I and Masruq looked, and it was Surah Tabarak. In the Book of the Punishment of the Grave: A man was approached from the direction of his head, and it said: 'You have no way over me, for he used to memorize Surah al-Mulk.' He was approached from the direction of his feet, and his feet said: 'You have no way over me, for he used to stand in prayer with Surah al-Mulk.' So it prevented him, by the permission of Allah, from the punishment of the grave. It is in the Torah that Surah al-Mulk, whoever recites it in a night, has (reward that is) greater and better."
