The recitation of the manzil in the morning and at night is one of the most universal and powerful remedies against all forms of nazar, Sihr and evil. The manzil water has a magical effect in protecting and removing all forms of negative energies. One can drink, sprinkle or bath with this water. It could also be sprayed on cars, in the home, shop etc. The water is prepared by reciting the manzil with full devotion and conviction and blowing on the water. The manzil is amongst the most tried and tested formulas, prescribed by Shaikhul Hadeeth Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya (rahmatullahi ‘alaih), leading saints of his family, and many other Ulama of high rank as a protection and antidote against harmful things. These verses of the Quraan Majeed are also mentioned with a slight variation in the book Al-Qawlul Jameel by Shah Waliyyullah Muhaddith Dehlawi (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) who writes that there are thirty-three verses which ward off the effects of witchcraft and are a protection against Shaitaan, miseries, thieves, and harmful wild beasts. Some scholars have also mentioned that the manzil has within it the power to treat and cure a hundred diseases and sicknesses.
Muhammad bin Seereen (rahimahullah), a famous narrator of hadeeth and student of the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum), was once travelling with a group of people when they decided to encamp for the night at a riverbank. As they were setting up camp, the people of the area approached them and advised them saying, “Go further on. Every person who attempts to camp here gets robbed.” On hearing this, the entire group packed up and departed to camp elsewhere with the exception of Muhammad bin Seereen (rahimahullah). He remained behind, alone and fearless, trusting in the security provided by the aayaat of protection that he recited. Muhammad bin Seereen (rahimahullah) then narrates the events that ensued. He says, “I had not yet fallen asleep when I actually saw the robbers. They were wielding drawn swords. They tried to approach me more than thirty times but were unable to do so. Knowing that I was safe, I slept soundly until the morning. I then packed my belongings and departed, continuing my journey. As I travelled, I suddenly encountered one of the robbers who was carrying a bow and seated astride a horse with a huge, bushy tail. He called out to me and asked, ‘Are you a human or jinn?’ ‘A human from the descendants of Aadam (‘alaihis salaam)’ I replied. The robber was stunned to hear this and asked, ‘But what’s your secret then? We tried to approach you more than 70 times but were blocked by an iron wall every time!’ I replied, ‘The secret is a hadeeth which Ibnu ‘Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) narrated to me from Nabi (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) who said, ‘Whoever recites thirty-three verses of the Quraan Majeed at night, he will not be harmed by a thief overcoming him or a predatory animal, and together with his family and wealth, he will be in complete safety and ease until the morning.’” When I completed narrating the hadeeth, he was so affected that he descended from his horse and broke his bow, promising Allah Ta‘ala that he would never again return to a life of robbery.” (Zailu Taarikhi Baghdaad – Ibnun Najjaar vol. 3, pg. 171)
