What do you understand? (Recite these two surahs when you go to sleep and when you wake up as well)."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ . قَالَ : وحَدَّثَهُ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَتْ عَلَيْنَا رِعَايَةُ الْإِبِلِ ، فَجَاءَتْ نَوْبَتِي فَرَوَّحْتُهَا بِعَشِيٍّ ، فَأَدْرَكْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَائِمًا يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ ، فَأَدْرَكْتُ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ : " مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ الْوُضُوءَ ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ مُقْبِلًا عَلَيْهِمَا بِقَلْبِهِ وَوَجْهِهِ ، إِلَّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ " ، فَقُلْتُ : مَا أَجْوَدَ هَذِهِ ؟ فَإِذَا قَائِلٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ يَقُولُ : الَّتِي قَبْلَهَا أَجْوَدُ مِنْهَا ، فَنَظَرْتُ ، فَإِذَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ، قَالَ : إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُكَ جِئْتَ آنِفًا ، قَالَ : " مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ ، فَيُسْبِغُ الْوُضُوءَ ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ، إِلَّا فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةُ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Aamir (may Allah be pleased with him) that we used to do our own work and would take turns herding the camels. One day, when it was my turn and I took them out at noon, I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) standing before the people and addressing them. What I heard at that moment was this: Whoever among you performs ablution and does it well, then stands and offers two rak‘ahs in which he turns his heart and face attentively towards Allah, Paradise becomes obligatory for him and all his sins are forgiven. I said, "How excellent this is!" Upon this, the man in front of me said, "Uqbah! The statement before this was even better." I looked and saw that it was Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him). I asked, "O Abu Hafs! What was that statement?" He replied, "Before you came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever among you performs ablution and does it well, then says: 'Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lahu wa anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluhu' (I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, He is alone, He has no partner, and Muhammad is His servant and Messenger), the eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him, and he may enter through whichever gate he wishes."
Hadith 17394
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا قَبَاثُ بْنُ رَزِينٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، قَالَ : خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ نَتَدَارَسُ الْقُرْآنَ ، قَالَ : " تَعَلَّمُوا الْقُرْآنَ وَاقْتَنُوهُ " ، قَالَ قَبَاثٌ : وَلَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا قَالَ : " وَتَغَنُّوا بِهِ ، فَإِنَّهُ أَشَدُّ تَفَلُّتًا مِنَ الْمَخَاضِ فِي عُقُلِهَا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were sitting in the mosque reciting the Holy Qur'an when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and greeted us with salam. We replied to him, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Acquire the knowledge of the Book of Allah, hold firmly to it, and recite it with melody. By the One in whose hand is the life of Muhammad, this Qur'an slips away even faster than camels that are untied from their enclosures.
Hadith 17395
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ نَشِيطٍ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ ، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ ، عَنْ دُخَيْنٍ كَاتِبِ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِعُقْبَةَ : إِنَّ لَنَا جِيرَانًا يَشْرَبُونَ الْخَمْرَ ، وَأَنَا دَاعٍ لَهُمْ الشُّرَطَ فَيَأْخُذُونَهُمْ ، فَقَالَ : لَا تَفْعَلْ ، وَلَكِنْ عِظْهُمْ وَتَهَدَّدْهُمْ ، قَالَ : فَفَعَلَ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهُوا ، قَالَ : فَجَاءَهُ دُخَيْنٌ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي نَهَيْتُهُمْ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهُوا ، وَأَنَا دَاعٍ لَهُمْ الشُّرَطَ ، فَقَالَ عُقْبَةُ : وَيْحَكَ ، لَا تَفْعَلْ ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ سَتَرَ عَوْرَةَ مُؤْمِنٍ ، فَكَأَنَّمَا اسْتَحْيَا مَوْءُودَةً مِنْ قَبْرِهَا " .
Dukhain, who was the scribe of Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates that once I said to Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him), "Our neighbors drink alcohol. I am going to call the police so that they may come and arrest them." Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Do not do so; rather, advise them and warn them." The scribe did so, but they did not desist. So Dukhain again came to Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "I forbade them, but they did not desist, and now I will surely call the police." Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Alas! Do not do so, because I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, it is as if he saves a girl buried alive."
Hadith 17396
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ مَرْثَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْيَزَنِيِّ ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِيَّاكُمْ وَالدُّخُولَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ " ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَفَرَأَيْتَ الْحَمْوَ ؟ قَالَ : " الْحَمْوُ الْمَوْتُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Protect yourselves from going near women. An Ansari asked, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) What is the ruling regarding the brother-in-law?" He replied, "The brother-in-law is death."
Hadith 17397
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ يَوْمًا فَصَلَّى عَلَى أَهْلِ أُحُدٍ صَلَاتَهُ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنِّي فَرَطٌ لَكُمْ ، وَأَنَا شَهِيدٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ، وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى حَوْضِي الْآنَ ، وَإِنِّي قَدْ أُعْطِيتُ مَفَاتِيحَ خَزَائِنِ الْأَرْضِ ، وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تُشْرِكُوا بَعْدِي ، وَلَكِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَنَافَسُوا فِيهَا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Aamir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out and reached the graves of the people of Uhud and offered the funeral prayer for them. Then he returned and ascended the pulpit and said: I will await you and I will bear witness for you. By Allah, I am seeing my pond even now. Remember! I have been given the keys to the treasures of the earth. By Allah! I do not fear that after me you will commit shirk, but I fear that you will become engrossed in the world and compete with one another for it.
Hadith 17398
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الْأَزْرَقِ ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " غَيْرَتَانِ : إِحْدَاهُمَا يُحِبُّهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، وَالْأُخْرَى يُبْغِضُهَا اللَّهُ ، وَمَخِيلَتَانِ : إِحْدَاهُمَا يُحِبُّهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، وَالْأُخْرَى يُبْغِضُهَا اللَّهُ ، الْغَيْرَةُ فِي الرَّمْيَةِ يُحِبُّهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، وَالْغَيْرَةُ فِي غَيْرِهِ يُبْغِضُهَا اللَّهُ ، وَالْمَخِيلَةُ إِذَا تَصَدَّقَ الرَّجُلُ يُحِبُّهَا اللَّهُ ، وَالْمَخِيلَةُ فِي الْكِبْرِ يُبْغِضُهَا اللَّهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: There are two types of jealousy, one of which Allah likes and the other He dislikes, and there are also two types of pride, one of which Allah likes and the other He dislikes. Jealousy at the time of doubt is liked by Allah, but jealousy in matters other than Allah is disliked by Allah. The pride of a person who gives charity is liked by Allah, and the pride of arrogance is disliked by Allah.
Hadith 17399
وَقَالَ : " ثَلَاثٌ مُسْتَجَابٌ لَهُمْ دَعْوَتُهُمْ الْمُسَافِرُ ، وَالْوَالِدُ ، وَالْمَظْلُومُ " .
And he said: Three types of people have their supplications answered: the traveler, the parent, and the oppressed.
Hadith 17400
وَقَالَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُدْخِلُ بِالسَّهْمِ الْوَاحِدِ الْجَنَّةَ ثَلَاثَةً صَانِعَهُ ، وَالْمُمِدَّ بِهِ ، وَالرَّامِيَ بِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " .
And he said: Allah Almighty will admit three people to Paradise because of a single arrow: one who made it, the second who assisted with it, and the third who shot it.

Abu Ali Hamdani, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once I set out on a journey, and with us was Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir, may Allah be pleased with him. We said to him, "May Allah's mercy be upon you, you are a companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him), so please lead us in prayer." He refused and said, "I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say: Whoever leads the people in prayer, performing it on time and completely, he will receive the reward as will those who follow him. But whoever is negligent in it, its burden will be upon him alone, not upon those who follow him."
Hadith 17402

We said, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) each one of us would like that." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If any one of you goes to the mosque and learns two verses from the Book of Allah, it is better for him than those two she-camels. Learning three verses is better than three she-camels, and learning four verses is better than four she-camels, and so on, increasing in number of verses and camels."
