Hadith 9582

عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَقِيتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَابْتَدَأْتُهُ فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا نَجَاةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ قَالَ يَا عُقْبَةُ أَمْلِكْ لِسَانَكَ وَلْيَسَعْكَ بَيْتُكَ وَابْكِ عَلَى خَطِيئَتِكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ لَقِينِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَابْتَدَأَنِي فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَقَالَ يَا عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ خَيْرَ ثَلَاثِ سُوَرٍ أُنْزِلَتْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ وَالزَّبُورِ وَالْفُرْقَانِ الْعَظِيمِ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ فَأَقْرَأَنِي قَالَ {قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ} {الإخلاص: 1-4} وَ {قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ} {الفلق: 1-5} وَ {قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ} {الناس: 1-6} ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عُقْبَةُ لَا تَنْسَاهُنَّ وَلَا تَبِتَنَّ لَيْلَةً حَتَّى تَقْرَأَهُنَّ قَالَ فَمَا نَسِيتُهُنَّ مُنْذُ قَالَ لَا تَنْسَاهُنَّ وَمَا بِتُّ لَيْلَةً قَطُّ حَتَّى أَقْرَأَهُنَّ قَالَ عُقْبَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ لَقِيتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَابْتَدَأْتُهُ فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنِي بِفَوَاضِلِ الْأَعْمَالِ فَقَالَ يَا عُقْبَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ صِلْ مَنْ قَطَعَكَ وَأَعْطِ مَنْ حَرَمَكَ وَاعْفُ عَمَّنْ ظَلَمَكَ
Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I met the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I initiated (the conversation) and held his hand and said: O Messenger of Allah! What is the salvation of a believer? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Uqbah! Restrain your tongue, let your house contain you (i.e., do not leave your house without necessity), and weep over your mistakes. Sayyiduna Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) met me and he initiated (the conversation) with me and held my hand and said: O Uqbah bin Amir! Shall I not teach you the best Surahs, the like of which have neither been revealed in the Torah, nor in the Psalms, nor in the Gospel, nor in the (rest of the) Qur’an? I said: Certainly, may Allah make me your ransom. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me {قُلْ ھُوَ اللّٰہُ اَحَدٌ}, {قُلْ اَعُوْذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَق}, and {قُلْ اَعُوْذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاس}, and then said: O Uqbah! Do not forget them and do not spend any night without reciting them. So, since the time the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) told me not to forget these Surahs, I have neither forgotten them nor have I spent a night without reciting them. Sayyiduna Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) further said: Then I met the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I initiated (the conversation) and held his hand and said: O Messenger of Allah! Tell me about virtuous deeds. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Uqbah! Maintain ties with the one who severs relations with you, give to the one who deprives you, and forgive the one who wrongs you.
