ibn mas`ud passed by an afflicted man and recited this verse to him in his ear {do you then think that we created you in vain and that to us you will not be returned? then exalted is allah the true king. there is no god except him lord of the noble throne. and whoever invokes with allah another deity for which he has no proof then his account is only with his lord. indeed the disbelievers will not succeed. and say my lord forgive and have mercy and you are the best of the merciful.} 
ومر ابن مسعود برجل مصاب فرقاه في أذنه بهذه الآية {أفحسبتم أنما خلقناكم عبثا وأنكم إلينا لا ترجعون فتعالى الله الملك الحق لا إله إلا هو رب العرش الكريم ومن يدع مع الله إلها آخر لا برهان له به فإنما حسابه عند ربه إنه لا يفلح الكافرون وقل رب اغفر وارحم وأنت خير الراحمين} .
