English translation

5439. It was narrated that ‘Uqbah bin ‘Āmir said: “While I was leading the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ (on his mount) in one of these mountain passes, he said: ‘Why don’t you ride, O ‘Uqbah?’ I had too much respect for the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ to ride the mount of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. Then he said: ‘Why don’t you ride, O ‘Uqbah?’ I was worried that I might be disobeying him, so he got off, and I rode for a little while, then I got off and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ rode. Then he said: ‘Shall I not teach you two of the best Sūrahs that the people recite?’ And he taught me: ‘Say: I seek refuge with (Allāh) the Lord of the daybreak,’ and Say: I seek refuge with (Allâh) the Lord of mankind.”[1] Then the Iqâmah was said and he went forward and recited them. Then he passed by me and said: ‘What do you think, O ‘Uqbah bin ‘Âmir? Recite them every time you go to sleep and get up.’” (Sahîh)

Arabic text

5437 - أَخْبَرَنِي مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: بَيْنَا أَقُودُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي نَقَبٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ النِّقَابِ إِذْ قَالَ: «أَلَا تَرْكَبُ يَا عُقْبَةُ؟» فَأَجْلَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ أَرْكَبْ مَرْكَبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَلَا تَرْكَبُ يَا عُقْبَةُ؟» فَأَشْفَقْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعْصِيَةً، فَنَزَلَ وَرَكِبْتُ هُنَيْهَةً، وَنَزَلْتُ، وَرَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ سُورَتَيْنِ مِنْ خَيْرِ سُورَتَيْنِ قَرَأَ بِهِمَا النَّاسُ؟» فَأَقْرَأَنِي قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ، وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ، فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، فَتَقَدَّمَ فَقَرَأَ بِهِمَا، ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِي، فَقَالَ: «كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ يَا عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ؟ اقْرَأْ بِهِمَا كُلَّمَا نِمْتَ وَقُمْتَ»
