5430. It was narrated from Mu'ādī bin 'Abdullāh that his father said: "It was raining and dark, and we were waiting for the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ to lead us in prayer. Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came out to lead us in prayer and he said: 'Say.' I said: 'What should I say?' He said: 'Say: He is Allāh, (the) One[1] and Al-Mu'awwadhatain in the evening and in the morning, three times, and that will suffice you against everything." (Hasan)
5428 - أَنْبَأَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَسِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي أَسِيدٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: أَصَابَنَا طَشٌّ وَظُلْمَةٌ، فَانْتَظَرْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُصَلِّيَ بِنَا، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ كَلَامًا مَعْنَاهُ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُصَلِّيَ بِنَا، فَقَالَ: «قُلْ» فَقُلْتُ: مَا أَقُولُ؟، قَالَ: «قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ، وَالْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ حِينَ تُمْسِي، وَحِينَ تُصْبِحُ، ثَلَاثًا يَكْفِيكَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ»

1. Man is a weak created being who cannot spend even a moment in this world without the Help of Allāh, Most High. None is self-sufficiently independent of Allāh. Countless are the occasions when man finds himself utterly helpless, and he becomes impotent and incapable, despite all his energies, capabilities, and resources. At that moment he feels the dire need of help and succor, and that help is only possible from Allāh, Most High. In order to save himself from calamities and afflictions, man seeks refuge of Allāh, Most High, whether the calamities and afflictions are of this mundane world or of the other world, whether they are physical, spiritual, material, or abstract. 2. Mu'awwidhatain (the two Surahs of refuge) Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Nās, because they begin with the expression Aūdhu. The meaning is: The two Surahs of seeking refuge. 3. That will suffice you as protection from everything from which protection is possible; otherwise, safeguarding against death, etc., is not possible, although protection against the evil of everything will be secured, for instance, from dying a bad death.
