أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ التُّجِيبِيِّ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَقْرِئْنِي مِنْ سُورَةِ يُوسُفَ أَوْ سُورَةِ هُودٍ قَالَ «يَا عُقْبَةُ اقْرَأْ بِقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ فَإِنَّكَ لَنْ تَقْرَأَ سُورَةً أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ وَأَبْلَغَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْهَا فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا تَفُوتَكَ فَافْعَلْ»

✧ I said: "O Messenger of Allah, teach me from Surah Yusuf or Surah Hud." He said: "O 'Uqbah, recite 'Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the daybreak,' for you will never recite a surah more beloved to Allah ﷻ and more effective with Him than it. If you can ensure it never misses you, then do so."
