Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32213 — The Muawwidhatayn

Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey. When the true dawn broke, he (peace and blessings be upon him) called the adhan and gave the iqamah. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) made me stand on his right side and recited the Mu'awwidhatayn. When he finished the prayer, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did you see what I recited?" I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), indeed I have seen." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then recite these two surahs whenever you sleep and whenever you wake up."
