5431. It was narrated from Mu'ādh bin 'Abdullāh bin Khubaib that his father said: "I was with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ on the road to Makkah when I found myself alone with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. I drew close to him and he said: 'Say.' I said: 'What should I say?' He said: 'Say.' I said: 'What should I say?' He said: 'Say: I seek refuge with (Allāh) the Lord of the daybreak..."[1] until he finished (the Surah), then he said: 'Say: I seek refuge with (Allāh) the Lord of mankind..."[2] until he finished it. Then he said: "The people cannot seek refuge with Allāh by means of anything better than these two." (Hasan)
