A hadith and commentary. The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: "Whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi after every prayer, nothing prevents him from entering Paradise except death." Commentary: This hadith has been authenticated by a group of scholars, among them the brilliant young hadith master, Muhammad Ibn 'Abd al-Hadi, a student of Ibn Taymiyyah. Imam Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "It reached me that our teacher, Ibn Taymiyyah, said: 'I have never once neglected it after any prayer.'"
