"I was leading the Messenger of Allah [SAW] (on his mount) on a journey, and the Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'O 'Uqbah, shall I not teach you the best two Surahs that can be recited?' And he taught me: 'Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of the daybreak.' And 'Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of mankind...' He thought that I did not seem too overjoyed with them, so when he stopped to pray Subh, he recited them when he led the people in the Subh prayer. When the Messenger of Allah [SAW] finished praying, he turned to me and said: 'O 'Uqbah, what do you think?'"  

كُنْتُ أَقُودُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي السَّفَرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا عُقْبَةُ أَلاَ أُعَلِّمُكَ خَيْرَ سُورَتَيْنِ قُرِئَتَا فَعَلَّمَنِي { قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ } وَ { قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ } فَلَمْ يَرَنِي سُرِرْتُ بِهِمَا جِدًّا فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ لِصَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ صَلَّى بِهِمَا صَلاَةَ الصُّبْحِ لِلنَّاسِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ الْتَفَتَ إِلَىَّ فَقَالَ يَا عُقْبَةُ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ  

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.  

كُنْتُ أَقُودُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَاقَتَهُ فِي السَّفَرِ فَقَالَ لِي يَا عُقْبَةُ أَلاَ أُعَلِّمُكَ خَيْرَ سُورَتَيْنِ قُرِئَتَا فَعَلَّمَنِي { قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ } وَ { قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ } قَالَ فَلَمْ يَرَنِي سُرِرْتُ بِهِمَا جِدًّا فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ لِصَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ صَلَّى بِهِمَا صَلاَةَ الصُّبْحِ لِلنَّاسِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ الْتَفَتَ إِلَىَّ فَقَالَ يَا عُقْبَةُ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ  

[Machine] "I used to ride with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on his camel, and he said to me, 'Shall I not teach you two surahs that have not been recited like them?' I replied, 'Yes, please teach me.' So he taught me [the verses] 'I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind' and 'I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak.' When he recited them, they pleased me. When the morning came, he recited them and then said to me, 'How did you find them, O 'Uqbah?'"  

كُنْتُ أَقُودُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نَاقَتَهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ سُورَتَيْنِ لَمْ يُقْرَأْ بِمِثْلِهِمَا؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى فَعَلَّمَنِي قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ فَلَمْ يَرَنِي أُعْجِبْتُ بِهِمَا فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ الصُّبْحَ فَقَرَأَ بِهِمَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ يَا عُقْبَةُ؟  

[Machine] I was driving the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in his journey, and he said, "O 'Uqbah, shall I not teach you two surahs that are recited?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Say, 'I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak' and say, 'I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind'." When they were revealed, he performed the Fajr prayer with them and then asked, "How do you see it, O 'Uqbah?"  

كُنْتُ أَقُودُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَاحِلَتَهُ فِي السَّفَرِ فَقَالَ يَا عُقْبَةُ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ خَيْرَ سُورَتَيْنِ قُرِئَتَا؟ قُلْتُبَلَى قَالَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ صَلَّى بِهِمَا صَلَاةَ الْغَدَاةِ قَالَ كَيْفَ تَرَى يَا عُقْبَةُ؟  

[Machine] "I was driving the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ mount during a journey when he said, 'O Uqbah, shall I not teach you two surahs that are recited?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak" and say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind".' When he descended, he prayed them during the morning prayer, then he asked me, 'How do you see it, O Uqbah?' As for the hadith of Zaid ibn Al-Hubab from Mu'awiya ibn Salih, it is similar to this chain of narration. And Allah knows best."  

كُنْتُ أَقُودُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَاحِلَتَهُ فِي السَّفَرِ فَقَالَ «يَا عُقْبَةُ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ خَيْرَ سُورَتَيْنِ قُرِئَتَا؟» قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ «قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ» فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ صَلَّى بِهِمَا صَلَاةَ الْغَدَاةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «كَيْفَ تَرَى يَا عُقْبَةُ» أَمَا حَدِيثُ زَيْدِ بْنِ الْحُبَابِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ نَحْوَ هَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ «وَهَذَا الْإِسْنَادُ لَا يُعَلِّلُ الْأَوَّلَ فَإِنَّ هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ لِمَتْنٍ آخَرَ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ»  

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؟»
