Councils to ʿUqbah b. ʿĀmir
that I met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said to me, "O ʿUqbah b. ʿĀmir! Tie back ˹ties of kinship˺ with the one who cuts it off, give to the one who prevents you from having, and forgive the one who wrongs you."
He said that then I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said to me, "O ʿUqbah b. ʿĀmir! Control your tongue, cry over your sins, and let your house be big enough for you."
He said that then I met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said to me, "O ʿUqbah b. ʿĀmir! Shall I not teach you the Sūrahs that such were not revealed in the Torah, nor in the Psalms, and not in the Gospel? Do not let a night go by without reciting 'Say, He is Allah, the One Absolutely Unique.' (Ikhlāṣ 112:1), and 'Say, I seek refuge from the Lord of the daybreak.' (Falaq 113:1), and 'Say, I seek refuge from the Lord of humankind.' (Nās 114:1)" ʿUqbah said that never a night went by and I did not recite them, and I was obliged to supplicate through them since the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered me to do so.
لَقِيتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي «يَا عُقْبَةُ بْنَ عَامِرٍ! صِلْ مَنْ قَطَعَكَ، وَأَعْطِ مَنْ حَرَمَكَ، وَاعْفُ عَمَّنْ ظَلَمَكَ»
قَالَ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي «يَا عُقْبَةُ بْنَ عَامِرٍ! أَمْلِكْ لِسَانَكَ، وَابْكِ عَلَى خَطِيئَتِكَ، وَلْيَسَعْكَ بَيْتُكَ»
قَالَ ثُمَّ لَقِيتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي «يَا عُقْبَةُ بْنَ عَامِرٍ! أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ سُوَرًا مَا أُنْزِلَتْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَلَا فِي الزَّبُورِ وَلَا فِي الْإِنْجِيلِ وَلَا فِي الْفُرْقَانِ مِثْلُهُنَّ؟ لَا يَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَيْكَ لَيْلَةٌ إِلَّا قَرَأْتَهُنَّ فِيهَا {قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ} وَ{قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ} وَ{قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ}» قَالَ عُقْبَةُ فَمَا أَتَتْ عَلَيَّ لَيْلَةٌ إِلَّا قَرَأْتُهُنَّ فِيهَا وَحُقَّ لِي أَنْ لَا أَدَعَهُنَّ وَقَدْ أَمَرَنِي بِهِنَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
