113The Daybreak (Al-Falaq)
[113:1] 
 Say: ‘I seek refuge
in the Lord of the Daybreak, the morning, 
 [113:2] 
 from the evil of what
He has created, of obligated animate beings and non-obligated ones and from all
inanimates, such as poison and so on; 
 [113:3] 
 and from the evil of
darkness when it gathers, that is, [from] night when it becomes dark and the
moon 
when it is absent, 
 [113:4] 
 and from the evil of
the women-blowers, sorceresses who blow, on knots, which they knot into
strings, 
blowing into them [certain] words, but without spittle;
however, al-Zamakhsharī says, ‘with this [spittle]’  
[sorceresses] such as the daughters of the said Labīd — 
 [113:5] 
 and from the evil of
an envier when he envies’, [when] he manifests his envy and behaves in
accordance 
with it — such as the mentioned Labīd from among the Jews
who were envious of the Prophet (s); the mention of these three [elements of
evil] which are [already] subsumed by [the statement] ‘of what He has created’,
is because of the severity of their evil. 
Meccan or Medinese, consisting of 6 verses.
