[Machine] There was a gathering during the day where people were waiting. Then the Prophet's stay and my stay were over, so he caught up with me and grabbed my shoulder and said, "Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak." So I said, "Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak." The Prophet ﷺ recited it and I recited it with him. Then he said, "Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind." The Prophet ﷺ recited it and I recited it with him. He then said, "When you pray, recite both of them, for indeed you will not recite anything like them."  

الكبرى للنسائي:٧٨١٠ – أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ

كَانَ فِي مَسِيرٍ وَفِي الظُّهْرِ قِلَّةٌ وَالنَّاسُ يَعْتَقِبُونَ فَحَانَتْ نَزْلَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَزْلَتِي فَلَحِقَنِي مِنْ بَعْدِي فَضَرَبَ مَنْكِبَيَّ وَقَالَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ فَقُلْتُ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ فَقَرَأَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَرَأْتُهَا مَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الناس فَقَرَأَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَرَأْتُهَا معه فقال «إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ فَاقْرَأْ بِهِمَا؛ فَإِنَّكَ لَنْ تَقْرَأَ بِمِثْلِهِمَا»
