"Through several chains of transmitters we learn that Muhammad`s illustrious Companion, Hadrat Abdullah bin Mas’ud, did not regard� these two final chapters� as Quranic at all. He refrained from including them in his personal collection of the Quran in the era prior to the establishment of the household version in the possession of Hafsa as the “authorized version,” the official Medina Codex. The fact that the Muawizatayn, as these two chapters are known, does appear in the household edition is enough for most commentators to be sure that Muhammad himself did recite them, though his esteemed Companion later insisted that the command to recite them was merely enjoined upon the Prophet (sallalahu alayhi wa ala alihi salam) “for seeking God’s refuge.” They have the ring of solace about them, and one can easily relate to the Prophet turning to God in this way in times of stress, no matter the manner in which God revealed them to him."
