Bukhari and MuslimIn another report the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasalam) said, "Recite them there is no Surahs like them." An-NisaiAishah(R.A.) narrates that: During the Prophet(sallallahu alayhi wasalam)'s fatal illness, he used to recite the Mu'auwidhaat and then blow his breath over his body. When his illness was aggravated, I used to recite those two Surahs , blow my breath over him and make him rub his body with his own hand for its blessings."Bukhari 7.631 (Ma'mar asked Az-Zuhri: How did the Prophet(sallallahu alayhi wasalam) used to blow?
