Special features of Bismillah & Surah Ikhlaasبِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ اورسورہ اخلاص کے خواص

Shaikh Kulayni has reported that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a) said to Mufazzal: You may guard yourself from all people by “Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem” and by Surah Ikhlaas, which you may recite in front of you, to your backside, to your right side, to your left side, over you, and beneath you. If you are summoned by a tyrannical ruler, you may recite it 3 times the moment you look at him, grasping on your left hand. You may keep on so until you leave. (To grasp on the left hand may stand for keeping the fingers joined together, or the expression, as understood by some scholars, may stand for keeping on reciting the Surah repeatedly until one leaves that place.)
