Question
Did Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) advise Sayyidah Fatimah (radiyallahu ‘anha) to recite Surah Falaq, Surah Nas and Ayatul Kursi before labour?
Answer
I have not come across this narration in any Hadith source. ‘Allamah Sakhawi (rahimahullah) was asked regarding actions for easy labour. He too did not mention this.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
