Does reciting Ayat al-Kursi and the Two Last Surahs (al-Mu'awwidhatayn) before sleep protect a Muslim from jinn urinating in his ear, even if he does not pray Fajr on time or does not perform night prayers (Qiyam al-Layl)?
Reciting Surat Al-, Al-Mu'awwidhatayn (Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Nas), and Ayat Al-Kursi before sleep is a confirmed of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, because it is a means of protecting the Muslim from Satan until morning. An apparent contradiction may arise between the hadiths stating that Satan will not approach one who recites Ayat Al-Kursi, and the about Satan urinating in the ear of one who sleeps through the Fajr prayer. This can be clarified by interpreting Satan's proximity as physical, meaning Satan does not harm one's body. As for urination, it is metaphorical, signifying domination and mockery. Alternatively, both could be interpreted as either physical or metaphorical, with one specifying the general meaning of the other. Or, it could be said that urination occurs for those who do not recite Ayat Al-Kursi with the intention of repelling Satan.
