أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بُحَيْرٌ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ

أَهْدَيْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ بَغْلَةً شَهْبَاءَ فَرَكِبَهَا فَأَخَذَ عُقْبَةُ يَقُودُهَا بِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِعُقْبَةَ «اقْرَأْ» قَالَ وَمَا أَقْرَأُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «اقْرَأْ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقْ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ» فَأَعَادَهَا عَلَيَّ حَتَّى قَرَأْتُهَا فَعَرَفَ أَنِّي لَمْ أَفْرَحْ بِهَا جِدًّا فَقَالَ «لَعَلَّكَ تَهَاوَنْتَ بِهَا فَمَا قُمْتُ تُصَلِّي بِمِثْلِهَا»

✧ I gave the Prophet ﷺ a gray mule as a gift, and he rode it. 'Uqbah took hold of it, leading him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to 'Uqbah: "Recite." He said: "What should I recite, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Recite: 'Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the daybreak from the evil of what He created.'" He repeated it to me until I recited it, and he perceived that I was not very pleased with it. He said: "Perhaps you have taken it lightly. You have never stood in prayer with the like of it."
