Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once I was behind the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He was riding at that time and I placed my hand on his blessed hand. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Teach me to recite Surah Hud and Surah Yusuf. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: You will not learn to recite anything that is more eloquent before Allah Almighty than Surah Al-Falaq (or that holds a higher rank).
