Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Once I was travelling with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) between al-Juhfah and al-Abwa' when suddenly a pitch-black storm enveloped us. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) began seeking refuge with "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak" [Surah al-Falaq: 1] and "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind" [Surah al-Nas: 1], and he began saying: "O Uqbah! Seek refuge with these two (the Mu'awwidhatayn); no one seeking refuge has ever sought refuge with anything like them." Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: He used to recite these two while leading us in prayer.
