Musnad of Uqbah bin Amir al-Juhani
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1736 — he said: I was leading the mount
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، قَالَ : بَيْنَا أَنَا أَقُودُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي نَقْبٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ النِّقَابِ ، قَالَ : يَا عُقْبَ ، أَلَا تَرْكَبُ ؟ فَأَجْلَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَنْ أَرْكَبَ مَرْكَبَهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا عُقْبَ ، أَلَا تَرْكَبُ ؟ فَأَشْفَقْتُ أَنْ تَكُونَ مَعْصِيَةً ، فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَرَكِبْتُ هُنَيْهَةً ، ثُمَّ رَكِبَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا عُقْبَ ، أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ سُورَتَيْنِ مِنْ خَيْرِ السُّورَتَيْنِ قَرَأَ بِهِمَا النَّاسُ ؟ قُلْتُ : بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، قَالَ : فَأَقْرَأَنِي : قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ ، وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ ، ثُمَّ أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ ، فَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ، فَقَرَأَ بِهِمَا ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِي ، قَالَ : كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ يَا عُقْبَ ؟ اقْرَأْ بِهِمَا كُلَّمَا نِمْتَ وَقُمْتَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I was leading the mount of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) by its rein along a mountain pass when he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Uqbah, will you not ride?" Out of reverence for the greatness and majesty of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I did not think it fitting to ride in his place. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said again: "O Uqbah, will you not ride?" Then I feared that my action might be considered disobedience. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted and I rode for a little while, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) mounted again. After that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Uqbah, shall I not teach you two surahs which are among the best surahs that people recite?" I said: Certainly, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! So he (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me to recite "Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak" and "Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind". Then the iqamah for the prayer was called, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stepped forward and recited these same two surahs in the prayer. Then when he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me he said: "O Uqbah, how did you find (their excellence)? Recite these two surahs whenever you go to sleep and whenever you wake up."
