أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ سَلْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ وَذَكَرَ ابْنَ سَلْمٍ آخَرَ مَعَهُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ أَسْلَمَ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ 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»

✧ I followed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was riding, and I placed my hand on his foot and said: O Messenger of Allah, teach me to recite either from Surat Hud or from Surat Yusuf. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “O ‘Uqbah b. ‘Amir, you will never recite a surah more beloved to Allah, nor more effective in His sight, than that you recite: ‘Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn.’ So if you can avoid missing it in any prayer, do so.”
