أَخْبَرَنِي مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جَابِرٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ
بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَقُودُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي نَقَبٍ مِنْ تِيكَ النِّقَابِ إِذْ قَالَ «أَلَا تَرْكَبُ يَا عُقْبُ؟» فَأَجْلَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ أَرْكَبَ مَرْكَبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلَا تَرْكَبُ يَا عُقْبُ؟» فَأَشْفَقْتُ أَنْ تَكُونَ مَعْصِيَةً فَنَزَلَ وَرَكِبْتُ هُنَيْهَةً ثُمَّ نَزَلَتْ وَرَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ سُورَتَيْنِ مِنْ خَيْرِ سُورَتَيْنِ قَرَأَتْهُمَا النَّاسُ؟» فَأَقْرَأَنِي قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ وَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَتَقَدَّمَ فَقَرَأَ بِهِمَا ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِي فَقَالَ «كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ يَا عُقْبُ؟ اقْرَأْ بِهِمَا كُلَّمَا نِمْتَ وَقُمْتَ»

✧ While I was leading the Messenger of Allah ﷺ through one of those mountain passes, he said: "Will you not ride, O 'Uqbah?" I felt too much awe for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to ride on the mount of the Messenger of Allah. Then he said: "Will you not ride, O 'Uqbah?" I feared that it might be disobedience, so he dismounted and I rode for a short while. Then I dismounted and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode. Then he said: "Shall I not teach you two surahs from the best two surahs that people recite?" He taught me: "Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the daybreak," and "Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind." Then the prayer was called, and he went forward and recited them. Then he passed by me and said: "How did you find it, O 'Uqbah? Recite them whenever you sleep and whenever you rise."
