“We went out on a rainy and extremely dark night, looking for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so that he could lead us in Salat.” He said: “So I met him and he ﷺ said: ‘Speak’ but I did not say anything. Then he ﷺ said: ‘Speak.’ But I did not say anything. He ﷺ said: ‘Speak.’ So I said: ‘What should I say?’ He ﷺ said: ‘Say: “Say: He is Allah, the One” and Al-Muʿawwidhatain, when you reach evening, and when you reach morning, three times, they will suffice you against everything.’”
خَرَجْنَا فِي لَيْلَةٍ مَطِيرَةٍ وَظُلْمَةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ نَطْلُبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي لَنَا قَالَ فَأَدْرَكْتُهُ فَقَالَ قُلْ فَلَمْ أَقُلْ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ قَالَ قُلْ فَلَمْ أَقُلْ شَيْئًا قَالَ قُلْ قُلْتُ مَا أَقُولُ قَالَ قُلْ ( هوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ) وَالْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ حِينَ تُمْسِي وَتُصْبِحُ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ تَكْفِيكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ
