Authenticity on reading a verse of the Quraan and the Angels wake a person up

Question

What is the reality of this wazeefah? Especially the fact that angels wake a person up?

"I was told a Quranic aayat to recite when you want to wake up for something and by Allah it works!! Every time I've read it I've ALWAYS woken up, whether it be for fajr, work, interview, literally anything you need to wake up for. I recall being told the virtue is that the angels wake you up. I'm not sure how accurate it is according to my memory, but I've never questioned it as I was told by an aalim. But if anyone wants to correct me, please do. This is the aayah: لا يجليها لوقتها إلا هو"

Answer

It is permissible to recite this verse as a wazeefa provided one does not regard this as a sunnah practice. Similarly, the malaaikah coming to wake a person up is not established.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
