Hadith of Uqbah ibn Amir al-Juhani (RA) from the Prophet (SAW)
حديث عقبة بن عامر الجهني (1) عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
Hadith 482:6
Al-Walid ibn Muslim narrated to us, he said: Ibn Jabir narrated to us, from al-Qasim Abu Abd al-Rahman, from Uqbah ibn Amir, who said: While I was leading the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) by the reins in one of those mountain passes, he said to me: "O Uqbah, will you not ride?" He said: I held the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in too high esteem to ride his mount. Then he said: "O Uqbah, will you not ride?" He said: I feared that it might be an act of disobedience. He said: So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) dismounted, and I rode for a little while, then he mounted. Then he said: "O Uqbah, shall I not teach you two surahs that are among the best two surahs that people recite?" He said: I said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. He said: So he taught me: "Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak" (Al-Falaq) and "Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind" (An-Nas). Then the prayer was called, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went forward and recited them. Then he passed by me and said: "How did you see them, O Uqbah? Recite them whenever you go to sleep and whenever you wake up." Abu Abd al-Rahman said: "He is Uqbah ibn Amir ibn Abis, and it is said ibn Abs al-Juhani."
حدثنا الوليد بن مسلم، قال: حدثنا ابن جابر، عن القاسم أبي عبد الرحمن، عن عقبة بن عامر، قال: بينا أنا أقود برسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في نقب من تلك النقاب، إذ قال لي: " يا عقب، ألا تركب؟ " قال: فأجللت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أن أركب مركبه، ثم قال: " يا عقب، ألا تركب؟ " قال: فأشفقت أن تكون معصية، قال: فنزل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وركبت هنية، ثم ركب، ثم قال: " يا عقب، ألا أعلمك سورتين من خير سورتين قرأ بهما الناس؟ " قال: قلت: بلى يا رسول الله. قال: فأقرأني: قل أعوذ برب الفلق وقل أعوذ برب الناس، ثم أقيمت الصلاة، فتقدم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقرأ بهما، ثم مر بي، قال: " كيف رأيت يا عقب؟ اقرأ بهما كلما نمت وكلما قمت " قال أبو عبد الرحمن : " هو عقبة بن عامر بن عابس، ويقال ابن عبس الجهني "
