حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ رِشْدِينَ الْمِصْرِيُّ ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ أَسْلَمَ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ يَقُولُ
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا وَهُوَ رَاكِبٌ فَوَضَعْتُ يَدِي عَلَى قَدَمِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَقْرِئْنِي مِنْ سُورَةِ هُودٍ وَإِمَّا مِنْ سُورَةِ يُوسُفَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا عُقْبَةُ بْنَ عَامِرٍ إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَقْرَأَ بِسُورَةٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللهِ وَأَبْلَغَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ أَنْ تَقْرَأَ بِقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا تَفُوتَكَ فِي صَلَاةٍ فَافْعَلْ»

✧ I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one day while he was riding, and I placed my hand on his foot and said: "O Messenger of Allah, teach me from Surah Hud or from Surah Yusuf." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "O ʿUqbah b. ʿAmir, you will never recite a surah more beloved to Allah and more efficacious with Him than reciting 'Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak.' So if you can ensure it never escapes you in any prayer, do so."
