I was driving the she-camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during a journey. He said to me: Uqbah, should I not teach you two best surahs ever recited? He then taught me: "Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn," and "Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of men." He did not see me much pleased (by these two surahs). When he alighted for prayer, he led the people in the morning prayer and recited them in prayer. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he turned to me and said: O Uqbah, how did you see. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1462)
كُنْتُ أَقُودُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نَاقَتَهُ فِي السَّفَرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا عُقْبَةُ؟ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ خَيْرَ سُورَتَيْنِ قُرِئَتَا؟» فَعَلَّمَنِي قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ فَلَمْ يَرَنِي سُرِرْتُ بِهِمَا جِدًّا فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ لِصَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ صَلَّى بِهِمَا صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ لِلنَّاسِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ «يَا عُقْبَةُ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ؟»
