أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ
كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا عُقْبَةُ قُلْ» فَقُلْتُ مَاذَا أَقُولُ؟ فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا عُقْبَةُ قُلْ» قُلْتُ مَاذَا أَقُولُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي فَقُلْتُ اللهُمَّ ارْدُدْهُ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ «يَا عُقْبَةُ قُلْ» فَقُلْتَ مَاذَا أَقُولُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَ «قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ» فَقَرَأْتُهَا حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ عَلَى آخِرِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «قُلْ» فَقُلْتُ مَاذَا أَقُولُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَ «قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الفَلَقِ» فَقَرَأْتُهَا حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ عَلَى آخِرِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ «مَا سَأَلَ سَائِلٌ بِمِثْلِهَا وَلَا اسْتَعَاذَ مُسْتَعِيذٌ بِمِثْلِهَا»

✧ I was walking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he said: "O 'Uqbah, say." I said: "What should I say?" He was silent. Then he said: "O 'Uqbah, say." I said: "What should I say, O Messenger of Allah?" He was silent. I said: "O Allah, make him answer me." Then he said: "O 'Uqbah, say." I said: "What should I say, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Say: 'I seek refuge with the Lord of the daybreak.'" So I recited it until I reached its end. Then he said: "Say." I said: "What should I say, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Say: 'I seek refuge with the Lord of the daybreak.'" So I recited it until I reached its end. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "No one has ever asked with the like of it, and no one has ever sought refuge with the like of it."
