"I followed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he was riding, and I placed my hand on his foot and said : O Messenger of Allah, teach me Surah Hud and Surah Yusuf. He said: 'You will never recite anything greater before Allah than: "Say: I seek refuge with (Allah), the Lord of the daybreak." And "Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of mankind.'"  

اتَّبَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ رَاكِبٌ فَوَضَعْتُ يَدِي عَلَى قَدَمِهِ فَقُلْتُ أَقْرِئْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سُورَةَ هُودٍ وَسُورَةَ يُوسُفَ فَقَالَ لَنْ تَقْرَأَ شَيْئًا أَبْلَغَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ { قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ } وَ { قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ }  

[Machine] He heard Uqbah bin Amir saying, "I held onto the Prophet's foot and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, recite Surah Hud and Surah Yusuf for me.'" So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to me, "O Uqbah bin Amir, you have not recited a Surah that is more beloved to Allah and more comprehensive in its meaning than 'Say: I seek refuge with (Allah), the Lord of the daybreak.'" He said, "Abu Imran would never leave it, and he would always recite it in the Maghrib prayer."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ يَقُولُ تَعَلَّقْتُ بِقَدَمِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَقْرِئْنِي سُورَةَ هُودٍ وَسُورَةَ يُوسُفَ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا عُقْبَةُ بْنَ عَامِرٍ إِنَّكَ لَمْ تَقْرَأْ سُورَةً أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللهِ وَلَا أَبْلَغَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ قَالَ يَزِيدُ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَبُو عِمْرَانَ يَدَعُهَا وَكَانَ لَا يَزَالُ يَقْرَؤُهَافِي صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ  

"I followed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he was riding, and I placed my hand on his foot and said : O Messenger of Allah, teach me Surah Hud and Surah Yusuf. He said: 'You will never recite anything greater before Allah than: "Say: I seek refuge with (Allah), the Lord of the daybreak." And "Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of mankind.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 953)   

أَنَّهُ قَالَ اتَّبَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ رَاكِبٌ فَوَضَعْتُ يَدِي عَلَى قَدَمِهِ فَقُلْتُ أَقْرِئْنِي سُورَةَ هُودٍ أَوْ سُورَةَ يُوسُفَ فَقَالَ لَنْ تَقْرَأَ شَيْئًا أَبْلَغَ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ  

[Machine] He heard Uqbah ibn Amir saying, "I held onto the foot of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, teach me Surah Hud and Surah Yusuf.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, 'O Uqbah, you will never recite a Surah from the Qur'an that is more beloved to Allah and more comprehensive before Him than Qul a'udhu bi Rabbil-Falaq (Surah Al-Falaq).' Yazid said, 'Abu Imran used to not leave it. He would continue reciting it in the Maghrib prayer.'"  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ يَقُولُ تَعَلَّقْتُ بِقَدَمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقْرِئْنِي سُورَةَ هُودٍ وَسُورَةَ يُوسُفَ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا عُقْبَةُ إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَقْرَأَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ سُورَةً أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَلَا أَبْلَغَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ» قَالَ يَزِيدُ «فَلَمْ يَكُنْ أَبُو عِمْرَانَ يَدَعُهَا كَانَ لَا يَزَالُ يَقْرَؤُهَا فِي صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ»  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall I recite from Surah Yusuf and Surah Hud?" He replied, "O 'Uqbah, recite! Seek refuge with the Lord of daybreak, for you will not recite a surah that is more beloved to Allah and more comprehensive in His sight than it. If you are able to not miss it, then do so."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقْرَأُ مِنْ سُورَةِ يُوسُفَ وَسُورَةِ هُودٍ قَالَ «يَا عُقْبَةُ اقْرَأْ بِأَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ فَإِنَّكَ لَنْ تَقْرَأَ بِسُورَةٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَأَبْلَغَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْهَا فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا تَفُوتَكَ فَافْعَلْ»  

"I followed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he was riding, and I placed my hand on his foot and said : O Messenger of Allah, teach me Surah Hud and Surah Yusuf. He said: 'You will never recite anything greater before Allah than: "Say: I seek refuge with (Allah), the Lord of the daybreak." And "Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of mankind.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 953)   

تَبِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَوْمًا وَهُوَ رَاكِبٌ فَوَضَعْتُ يَدِي عَلَى يَدِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقْرِئْنِي مِنْ سُورَةِ هُودٍ وَمِنْ سُورَةِ يُوسُفَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَقْرَأَ شَيْئًا أَبْلَغَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ»  

[Machine] "He heard Uqbah bin 'Amir say, 'I followed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was riding, so I placed my hand on his foot and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, teach me either a Surah from Surah Hud or a Surah from Surah Yusuf.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'O Uqbah bin 'Amir, you will not recite a Surah more beloved to Allah or more significant to Him than "Say, 'I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak'" (Surah Al-Falaq). If you can make sure it is not missed in your prayer, then do so.'"  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ يَقُولُ تَبِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ رَاكِبٌ فَجَعَلْتُ يَدِي عَلَى قَدَمِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقْرِئْنِي إِمَّا مِنْ سُورَةِ هُودٍ وَإِمَّا مِنْ سُورَةِ يُوسُفَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا عُقْبَةُ بْنَ عَامِرٍ إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَقْرَأَ سُورَةً أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَلَا أَبْلَغَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ أَنْ تَقْرَأَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا تَفُوتَكَ فِي صَلَاةٍ فَافْعَلْ»  

"يَا عُقْبَةُ بْنَ عَامِرٍ: إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَقْرَأَ بِسُورَة أحَبَّ إِلى الله، وَلاَ أبْلَغَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ أنْ تَقْرَأَ " {قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ}، فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أنْ لاَ تَفُوتَكَ فِى صَلاَةٍ فَافْعَلْ".
