Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I came behind the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) while he was riding. I placed my hand on his noble foot. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Teach me recitation—either Surah Hud or Surah Yusuf. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: O Uqbah bin Amir! You will not recite any surah that is more beloved to Allah Almighty and reaches Him more than Surah Al-Falaq. If you are able, then recite it in every prayer. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The kunyah of Aslam bin Imran is Abu Imran; he was among the people of Egypt and among the Tabi‘een there.
