What is the ruling on one who says that reciting specific surahs, such as "At-Tariq," "Al-Mulk," or "At-Tahrim," has particular effects on jinn and magic, or that repeating certain dhikrs, such as "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah" (There is no might nor power except with Allah) or "La ilaha illa Allah" (There is no god but Allah), a specific number of times affects devils and nullifies magic?

The Quran, in general, is effective in treating those afflicted by sorcery, demonic possession, and evil spirits. The Prophet, peace be upon him, specifically mentioned Surat al-Baqarah for expelling devils. The Prophet, peace be upon him, did not restrict the effect of Surat al-Baqarah to a specific type of jinn or a specific number of times; therefore, specifying such details requires evidence. Abu Hurayrah did not know the truthfulness of the jinn regarding Ayatul Kursi until the Prophet, peace be upon him, informed him.
