Hadith 8883

عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عِمْرَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ تَعَلَّقْتُ بِقَدَمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقْرِئْنِي سُورَةَ هُودٍ وَسُورَةَ يُوسُفَ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَقْرَأَ سُورَةً أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَلَا أَبْلَغَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ {قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ} [سورة الفلق] قَالَ يَزِيدُ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَبُو عِمْرَانَ يَدَعُهَا وَكَانَ لَا يَزَالُ يَقْرَؤُهَا فِي صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I clung to the blessed feet of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Teach me Surah Hud and Surah Yusuf. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: O Uqbah! You have not recited any surah that is more beloved, eloquent, and fruitful to Allah Almighty than {قُلْ أَ عُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ}. Yazid, the narrator, says: Abu Imran would never abandon the recitation of this surah and would always recite it in the Maghrib prayer.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Surah al-Falaq and Surah an-Nas are the best forms of ruqyah (spiritual healing supplication), and seeking Allah Ta'ala’s protection from the evil of created beings, sorcery, the evil eye, etc., is best accomplished through them. Before their revelation, the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to seek refuge from the gaze of humans and jinn with various words, but when these Surahs were revealed, he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) made reciting them his regular practice.
