[Machine] Uqbah bin Amir, who was the companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and had the gray camel that he used to ride during journeys, said: "I was riding with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he was on his riding animal, Rotwah, in the middle of the night. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Get off.' So, I got off the riding animal. Then, he said, 'Ride, O Uqbah.' So, I said, 'Glory be to Allah! I ride with you?' He commanded me and said, 'Ride.' So, I repeated saying the same thing and hesitated several times until I feared disobeying the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So, I rode his riding animal. Then, he urged his she-camel and she stood up. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called me from a distance using a small opening in his veil and said, 'O Uqbah, shall I teach you two surahs from the Qur'an that are the best of the Qur'an or among the best?' I said, 'Yes, by my father and mother, please teach me.' So, he taught me the Mu'awwidhatain. Then, he said, 'O Uqbah, when you see the dawn, inform me.' So, when I saw the dawn, I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, this is the dawn.' Then, I dismounted his riding animal and performed ablution. Then, he stood up for prayer and took my hand and placed me on his right side and recited those two surahs in the Fajr prayer. Then, he turned towards me and said, 'O Uqbah, recite them every time you stand and every time you go to bed.'"
