حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ الْمَدَنِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُلَيْكِيِّ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ مُصْعَبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ قَرَأَ حم الْمُؤْمِنَ إِلَى : (إِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ ) وَآيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ حُفِظَ بِهِمَا حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ وَمَنْ قَرَأَهُمَا حِينَ يُمْسِيَ حُفِظَ بِهِمَا حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ . وَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ الْمُلَيْكِيِّ مِنْ قِبَلِ حِفْظِهِ . وَزُرَارَةُ بْنُ مُصْعَبٍ هُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ وَهُوَ جَدُّ أَبِي مُصْعَبٍ الْمَدَنِيِّ .
Narrated Abu Hurairah: That The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Said: "Whoever Recites Ha Mim Al-Mu'Min - Up To - To Him Is The Return (40:1-3) And Ayat Al-Kursi When He Reaches (Gets Up In) The Morning, He Will Be Protected By Them Until The Evening. And Whoever Recites Them When He Reaches The Evening, He Will Be Protected By Them Until The Morning."

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 2879
This hadith about Ayat Al-Kursi in morning and evening mentions a specific recitation. The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) says that whoever recites Ha Mim Al-Mu'min up to the words, 'To Him is the return' and recites Ayat Al-Kursi in the morning will be protected by them until evening. Whoever recites them in the evening will be protected by them until morning. The wording is precise, so the explanation should stay precise too. It names both the opening verses of Surah Ghafir, also called Ha Mim Al-Mu'min in the translation, and Ayat Al-Kursi. The main lesson is the value of remembering Allah with these recitations at the start and end of the day.
