أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ ابْنِ الْحَارِثِ يَعْنِي الْعَلَاءَ عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ مَوْلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ
كُنْتُ أَقُودُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نَاقَتَهُ فِي السَّفَرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا عُقْبَةُ؟ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ خَيْرَ سُورَتَيْنِ قُرِئَتَا؟» فَعَلَّمَنِي قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ فَلَمْ يَرَنِي سُرِرْتُ بِهِمَا جِدًّا فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ لِصَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ صَلَّى بِهِمَا صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ لِلنَّاسِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ «يَا عُقْبَةُ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ؟»

✧ I was leading the Messenger of God's ﷺ she-camel during travel. The Messenger of God ﷺ said, "O Uqbah, shall I not teach you the best two surahs that have been recited?" He taught me: Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak, and Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind. He did not see me very pleased with them. When he dismounted for the morning prayer, he recited them in the morning prayer for the people. When the Messenger of God ﷺ finished the prayer, he turned to me and said, "O Uqbah, how did you find it?"
