حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ؛ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَيَّاشٍ؛ عَنْ أَسِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْخَثْعَمِيِّ؛ عَنْ فَرْوَةَ بْنِ مُجَاهِدٍ اللَّخْمِيِّ؛ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ
لَقِيتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي: يَا عُقْبَةُ بْنَ عَامِرٍ، صِلْ مَنْ قَطَعَكَ، وَأَعْطِ مَنْ حَرَمَكَ، وَاعْفُ عَمَّنْ ظَلَمَكَ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي: يَا عُقْبَةُ بْنَ عَامِرٍ، أَمْلِكْ لِسَانَكَ، وَابْكِ عَلَى خَطِيئَتِكَ، وَلْيَسَعْكَ بَيْتُكَ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ لَقِيتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي: يَا عُقْبَةُ بْنَ عَامِرٍ، أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ سُوَرًا مَا أُنْزِلَتْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَلَا فِي الزَّبُورِ وَلَا فِي الْإِنْجِيلِ وَلَا فِي الْفُرْقَانِ مِثْلُهُنَّ، لَا يَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَيْكَ لَيْلَةٌ إِلَّا قَرَأْتَهُنَّ فِيهَا قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ قَالَ عُقْبَةُ: فَمَا أَتَتْ عَلَيَّ لَيْلَةٌ إِلَّا قَرَأْتُهُنَّ فِيهَا، وَحُقَّ لِي أَنْ لَا أَدَعَهُنَّ، وَقَدْ أَمَرَنِي بِهِنَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ. وَكَانَ فَرْوَةُ بْنُ مُجَاهِدٍ إِذَا حَدَّثَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ يَقُولُ: أَلَا فَرُبَّ مَنْ لَا يَمْلِكُ لِسَانَهُ أَوْ لَا يَبْكِي عَلَى خَطِيئَتِهِ وَلَا يَسَعُهُ بَيْتُهُ

that I met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said to me, "O ʿUqbah b. ʿĀmir! Tie back ˹ties of kinship˺ with the one who cuts it off, give to the one who prevents you from having, and forgive the one who wrongs you." He said that then I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said to me, "O ʿUqbah b. ʿĀmir! Control your tongue, cry over your sins, and let your home be sufficient for you." He said that then I met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said to me, "O ʿUqbah b. ʿĀmir! Shall I not teach you the Sūrahs that such were not revealed in the Torah, nor in the Psalms, and not in the Gospel? Do not let a night go by without reciting 'Say, He is Allah, the One Absolutely Unique.' (Ikhlāṣ 112:1), and 'Say, I seek refuge from the Lord of the daybreak.' (Falaq 113:1), and 'Say, I seek refuge from the Lord of humankind.' (Nās 114:1)" ʿUqbah said that never a night went by and I did not recite them, and I was obliged to supplicate through them since the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered me to do so.
Notes
and Furwah b. Mujāhid, when he narrated this ḥadīth, used to say, "Alas! how unfortunate is he who does not have control over his own tongue nor cry over his sins, not let his house be big enough for him."
