5432. It was narrated that 'Uqbah bin 'Āmir Al-Juhanī said: "While I was leading the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ on his mount on a military campaign, he said: 'O 'Uqbah, say!' I listened, then he said: 'O 'Uqbah, say!' I listened, then he said it a
third time. I said: 'What should I say?' He said: 'Say: He is Allāh, (the) One...' [1] and he recited the Sūrah to the end. Then he recited: 'Say: I seek refuge with (Allāh) the Lord of the daybreak...' [2] and I recited it with him until the end. Then he recited: 'Say: I seek refuge with (Allāh) the Lord of mankind...' [3] and I recited it with him until the end. Then he said: 'No one ever sought refuge (with Allāh) by means of anything like them.'" (Hasan)
