حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: بَيْنَا أَنَا أَقُودُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي نَقَبٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ النِّقَابِ، إِذْ قَالَ لِي: " يَا عُقْبَ، أَلَا تَرْكَبُ؟ " قَالَ: فَأَجْلَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ أَرْكَبَ مَرْكَبَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " يَا عُقْبُ، أَلَا تَرْكَبُ؟ " قَالَ: فَأَشْفَقْتُ أَنْ تَكُونَ مَعْصِيَةً، قَالَ: فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَكِبْتُ هُنَيَّةً، ثُمَّ رَكِبَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " يَا عُقْبُ، أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ سُورَتَيْنِ مِنْ خَيْرِ سُورَتَيْنِ قَرَأَ بِهِمَا النَّاسُ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: فَأَقْرَأَنِي: قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ، ثُمَّ أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، فَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَرَأَ، ، بِهِمَا، ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِي، قَالَ: " كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ يَا عُقْبُ؟ اقْرَأْ بِهِمَا كُلَّمَا نِمْتَ وَكُلَّمَا قُمْتَ " (١)، ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ (١) : " هُوَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَابِسٍ، وَيُقَالَ ابْنُ عَبْسٍ الْجُهَنِيُّ "،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Uqbah bin Aamir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was walking ahead of the Prophet’s (ﷺ) mount on a path, when suddenly the Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "O Uqbah! Why don’t you ride?" But I thought of the greatness of the Prophet (ﷺ), that how could I ride on his mount. After a little while, the Prophet (ﷺ) again said, "O Uqbah! Why don’t you ride?" This time I feared that perhaps this might be considered disobedience, so when the Prophet (ﷺ) dismounted, I mounted, and after going a short distance, I dismounted. The Prophet (ﷺ) mounted again and said, "O Uqbah! Shall I not teach you two surahs which are better than all the surahs that people recite?" I said, "Why not, O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ)" So the Prophet (ﷺ) taught me Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Naas. Then the prayer was established, the Prophet (ﷺ) went forward and recited these two surahs in the prayer. Then, passing by me, he said, "O Uqbah! What do you understand? Recite these two surahs when you go to sleep and when you wake up."
