حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل بْنِ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْبَرَّادِ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ خُبَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ : خَرَجْنَا فِي لَيْلَةٍ مَطِيرَةٍ ، وَظُلْمَةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ ، نَطْلُبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي لَنَا ، قَالَ : فَأَدْرَكْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ : قُلْ : فَلَمْ أَقُلْ شَيْئًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : قُلْ : فَلَمْ أَقُلْ شَيْئًا ، قَالَ : قُلْ ، فَقُلْتُ : مَا أَقُولُ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْ : " قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ , وَالْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ حِينَ تُمْسِي وَتُصْبِحُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ تَكْفِيكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ ، مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَأَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْبَرَّادُ هُوَ أَسِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي أَسِيدٍ مَدَنِيٌّ .
´Mu`adh bin `Abdullah bin Khubaib, narrated from his father, who said:` “We went out on a rainy and extremely dark night, looking for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), so that he could lead us in Salat.” He said: “So I met him and he (ﷺ) said: ‘Speak’ but I did not say anything. Then he (ﷺ) said: ‘Speak.’ But I did not say anything. He (ﷺ) said: ‘Speak.’ So I said: ‘What should I say?’ He (ﷺ) said: ‘Say: “Say: He is Allah, the One” and Al-Mu`awwidhatain, when you reach evening, and when you reach morning, three times, they will suffice you against everything.’”

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) The heading established by Imam Nasa’i rahimahullah aims to clarify the legitimacy (mashru‘iyyah) of seeking refuge (isti‘adhah).
(2) This blessed hadith is a clear proof of the virtue of these three mentioned surahs: Surah al-Ikhlas, Surah al-Falaq, and Surah an-Nas. Furthermore, this hadith is evidence that the two surahs of seeking refuge (al-Mu‘awwidhatayn), namely: ﴿قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ﴾ and ﴿قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ﴾, are chapters (surahs) of the Noble Qur’an and a part of it. They are not merely supplications for seeking refuge. Moreover, the Ummah is unanimous (ijma‘) that the word (Qul) which appears at the beginning of these surahs is itself a word of the Qur’an, established by mass transmission (tawatur), and its place is after Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim.
(3) “From every calamity” means from those from which seeking refuge is possible; otherwise, protection from death and the like is not possible. However, protection from the evil of everything will be obtained, such as from an evil death. And Allah knows best.

That is, no other surah or speech is equal to them in seeking protection, let alone being superior.
