Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was travelling with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) between al-Juhfah and al-Abwa' when a windstorm and darkness covered us. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) began seeking refuge with Surah al-Falaq and Surah al-Nas, and saying: "O Uqbah! Seek refuge, for no one who seeks refuge has ever sought refuge with anything like them." Sayyiduna Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then I heard him (peace and blessings be upon him) leading us in prayer with these two surahs.
