[Machine] A man and I were traveling with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and people were watching us. In the afternoon, it was time for the Prophet ﷺ and me to take a rest, so he stopped and I stopped with him. He struck my shoulder and said, "Say, 'I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak.'" So I said, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited it and I recited it with him. Then he said, "Say, 'I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind.'" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited it and I recited it with him. He said, "When you pray, recite these."

رَجُلٌ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ وَالنَّاسُ يَعْتَقِبُونَ وَفِي الظَّهْرِ قِلَّةٌ فَحَانَتْ نَزْلَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَزْلَتِي فَلَحِقَنِي مِنْ بَعْدِي فَضَرَبَ مَنْكِبَيَّ فَقَالَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ فَقُلْتُ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ فَقَرَأَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَرَأْتُهَا مَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ فَقَرَأَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَرَأْتُهَا مَعَهُ قَالَ إِذَا أَنْتَ صَلَّيْتَ فَاقْرَأْ بِهِمَا
