Reference
On the authority of Anas ibn Malik (God be pleased with him), directly attributed to the Prophet ﷺ, who said, ‘Whoever recites – after the Final Salutation [taslīm] of the Friday Prayer, and before they move their feet from their position (in which they were praying) – the Opening Chapter of the Book [Sūrat al-Fātiḥa], and “Say God is One” [Sūrat al-Ikhlāṣ], and “Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of Daylight” [Sūrat al-Falaq], and “Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of Mankind” [Sūrat an-Nās], seven times each, (God) shall forgive their past and future sins.’[1]
And in another narration, ‘…God shall provide them with refuge from all evils until the next Friday.’[2]
