Abu Ad-Dardaa reported that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “Anyone who memorizes ten aayahs from the beginning of

Soorat Al-Kahf will be protected from the Dajjaal.”

Muslim, Riyaad As-Saaliheen by Imaam An-Nawawee 183 #1012

One narration says, “from the end of Soorat Al-Kahf”.

The Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “Whoever recited Soorat Al-Kahf in the same manner in which it was revealed, it will serve for him as a light on the Day of Judgment, from his domicile to Makkah. And whoever recited the last ten verses, and it happens that the Dajjaal should appear

after that, Dajjaal will not be empowered over him.”
