Sunan Nasai 5435 — What was Narrated Concerning Al-Mu'awwidhatain
أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا بَحِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، قَالَ : أُهْدِيَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَغْلَةٌ شَهْبَاءُ فَرَكِبَهَا وَأَخَذَ عُقْبَةُ يَقُودُهَا بِهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعُقْبَةَ : " اقْرَأْ " ، قَالَ : وَمَا أَقْرَأُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " اقْرَأْ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ " , فَأَعَادَهَا عَلَيَّ حَتَّى قَرَأْتُهَا فَعَرَفَ أَنِّي لَمْ أَفْرَحْ بِهَا جِدًّا ، قَالَ : " لَعَلَّكَ تَهَاوَنْتَ بِهَا , فَمَا قُمْتُ يَعْنِي بِمِثْلِهَا " .
´It was narrated that 'Uqbah bin 'Amir said:` "The Prophet [SAW] was given a gray mule which he rode, and 'Uqbah led it. The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said to 'Uqbah: 'Recite.' He said: 'What should I recite, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Recite: 'Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of the daybreak, from the evil of what He has created.' And he repeated it until I had learned it."
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
That is, in the matter of seeking refuge (isti‘adhah), this is the most virtuous because it is extremely comprehensive, and in it, every type of evil has been mentioned and refuge from it has been sought from Allah, the Exalted.
