"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! What is the means to salvation?' He said: 'That you control your tongue, suffice yourself your house, and cry over your sins.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2406)
عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا النَّجَاةُ؟ قَالَ أَمْلِكْ عَلَيْكَ لِسَانَكَ وَلْيَسَعْكَ بَيْتُكَ وَابْكِ عَلَى خَطِيئَتِكَ
"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! What is the means to salvation?' He said: 'That you control your tongue, suffice yourself your house, and cry over your sins.'"
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا النَّجَاةُ قَالَ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ لِسَانَكَ وَلْيَسَعْكَ بَيْتُكَ وَابْكِ عَلَى خَطِيئَتِكَ
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
