Al-Hadid 57:3

<h2>Which was revealed in Madina</h2><h2>The Virtues of Surat Al-Hadid</h2><p>Imam Ahmad recorded that `Irbad bin Sariyah said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite Al-Musabbihat before he went to sleep, saying,</p><p>«إِنَّ فِيهِنَّ آيَةً أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفِ آيَة»</p><p>(In them there is an Ayah that is better than a thousand Ayat.)

He is the First and the Last, and the Outward and the Inward; and He is Knower of all things.

He is the First and the Last, the Evident and the Immanent: and He has full knowledge of all things.

He is the First (nothing is before Him) and the Last (nothing is after Him), the Most High (nothing is above Him) and the Most Near (nothing is nearer than Him). And He is the All-Knower of every thing.

He is the First and the Last, and the Outer and the Inner, and He has knowledge of all things.
