I asked Ubay b. Kaʿb regarding the two Muʿawwidhāt (Sūrahs of seeking refuge in Allah). He said: I asked the Prophet ﷺ about them and he said, "They are for me and I have ˹recited˺ them." Now, we ˹recite˺ as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ˹recited.˺"

سَأَلْتُ أُبَىَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ عَنِ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ قِيلَ لِي فَقُلْتُ فَنَحْنُ نَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ

I asked Ubai bin Kaʿb, "O Abu AlMundhir! Your brother, Ibn Masʿud said so-and-so (i.e., the two Mu'awwidh-at do not belong to the Qur'an)." Ubai said, "I asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ about them, and he said, 'They have been revealed to me, and I have recited them (as a part of the Qur'an)," So Ubai added, "So we say as Messenger of Allah ﷺ has said."

سَأَلْتُ أُبَىَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ إِنَّ أَخَاكَ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ أُبَىٌّ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي قِيلَ لِي فَقُلْتُ قَالَ فَنَحْنُ نَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ

[AI] I said to my father, "Abdullah says about the two protecting surahs (Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Nas)." He replied, "We asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about them, and he said, 'It is said to me, so I say as he said.' "

قُلْتُ لِأُبَيٍّ إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ يَقُولُ فِي الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْهُمَا فَقَالَ قِيلَ لِي فَقُلْتُ فَأَنَا أَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ

[AI] I asked Ubayy ibn Ka'b about the two Mu'awwidhatayn (Surahs Al-Falaq and An-Nas). He said, "I asked the Prophet ﷺ about them and he said, 'It has been revealed to me, so I am informing you.'"

سَأَلْتُ أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ عَنِ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺعَنْهُمَا فَقَالَ قِيلَ لِي فَقُلْتُ لَكُمْ فَقُولُوا قَالَ أُبَيٌّ فَقَالَ لَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَنَحْنُ نَقُولُ

[AI] I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the two protective surahs. So he said to me, "It was said to me, so I said it to you."

سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ قِيلَ لِي فَقُلْتُ قَالَ أُبَيٌّ فَقَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَحْنُ نَقُولُ

I asked Ubay b. Kaʿb regarding the two Muʿawwidhāt (Sūrahs of seeking refuge in Allah). He said: I asked the Prophet ﷺ about them and he said, "They are for me and I have ˹recited˺ them." Now, we ˹recite˺ as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ˹recited.˺"

سَأَلْتُ أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ عَنِ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: «قِيلَ لِي، فَقُلْتُ۔» فَنَحْنُ نَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ۔

I asked Ubai bin Kaʿb regarding the two Muwwidhat (Surats of taking refuge with Allah). He said, "I asked the Prophet ﷺ about them, He said, 'These two Surats have been recited to me and I have recited them (and are present in the Qur'an).' So, we say as Messenger of Allah ﷺ said (i.e., they are part of the Qur'an." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4976)

سَأَلْتُ أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ عَنِ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ قِيلَ لِي فَقُلْتُ فَنَحْنُ نَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ

[AI] I asked Ubayy ibn Ka'b about the mu'awwidhatayn (surahs of seeking protection), so I said, "O Abu al-Mundhir, surely your brother Ibn Mas'ud recites them from the Mus'haf." He replied, "Indeed, I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about this, and he said, 'Say them just as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said.'"

سَأَلْتُ أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ عَنِ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ إِنَّ أَخَاكَ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَحُكُّهُمَا مِنَ الْمُصْحَفِ قَالَ إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَقِيلَ لِي فَقُلْتُ فَنَحْنُ نَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ

"سَأَلْتُ أُبَىَّ بنَ كَعْبٍ عَنِ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قال: قيلَ لِى، قُلْتُ: فَنَحْنُ نَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ".
