وعن جابر أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كان لا ينام حتى يقرأ آلم تنزيل و تبارك الذي بيده الملك رواه أحمد والترمذي والدارمي (مشكاة # 2155)

وعن ابن مسعود قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من قرأ سورة الواقعة في كل ليلة لم تصبه فاقة ابدا وكان ابن مسعود يأمر بناته يقرأن بها في كل ليلة رواه البيهقي في شعب الإيمان (مشكاة # 2181)
