حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي أَسِيدٍ الْبَرَّادِ ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ خُبَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " خَرَجْنَا فِي لَيْلَةِ مَطَرٍ وَظُلْمَةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ نَطْلُبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُصَلِّيَ لَنَا فَأَدْرَكْنَاهُ ، فَقَالَ : أَصَلَّيْتُمْ ؟ فَلَمْ أَقُلْ شَيْئًا , فَقَالَ : قُلْ فَلَمْ أَقُلْ شَيْئًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : قُلْ , فَلَمْ أَقُلْ شَيْئًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : قُلْ , فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَا أَقُولُ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْ : قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ، حِينَ تُمْسِي وَحِينَ تُصْبِحُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ تَكْفِيكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Khubayb: We went out one rainy and intensely dark night to look for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to lead us in prayer, and when we found him, he asked: Have you prayed?, but I did not say anything. So he said: Say, but I did not say anything. He again said: Say, but I did not say anything. He then said: Say. So I said: What am I to say? He said: Say: "Say, He is Allah, One, " and al-Mu'awwadhatan thirty three times in the morning and evening; they will serve you for every purpose.

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) The heading established by Imam Nasa’i rahimahullah aims to clarify the legitimacy (mashru‘iyyah) of seeking refuge (isti‘adhah).
(2) This blessed hadith is a clear proof of the virtue of these three mentioned surahs: Surah al-Ikhlas, Surah al-Falaq, and Surah an-Nas. Furthermore, this hadith is evidence that the two surahs of seeking refuge (al-Mu‘awwidhatayn), namely: ﴿قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ﴾ and ﴿قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ﴾, are chapters (surahs) of the Noble Qur’an and a part of it. They are not merely supplications for seeking refuge. Moreover, the Ummah is unanimous (ijma‘) that the word (Qul) which appears at the beginning of these surahs is itself a word of the Qur’an, established by mass transmission (tawatur), and its place is after Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim.
(3) “From every calamity” means from those from which seeking refuge is possible; otherwise, protection from death and the like is not possible. However, protection from the evil of everything will be obtained, such as from an evil death. And Allah knows best.

That is, no other surah or speech is equal to them in seeking protection, let alone being superior.
