Chapter 8 · Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat): Detailed Injunctions about Witrفِي الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ، عَنْ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ مَوْلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَقُودُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَاقَتَهُ فِي السَّفَرِ، فَقَالَ لِي: يَا عُقْبَةُ، أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ خَيْرَ سُورَتَيْنِ قُرِئَتَا ؟ فَعَلَّمَنِي: قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَرَنِي سُرِرْتُ بِهِمَا جِدًّا، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ لِصَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ صَلَّى بِهِمَا صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ لِلنَّاسِ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ، فَقَالَ: يَا عُقْبَةُ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ ؟ .

Regarding The Mu'awwidhatain
I was driving the she-camel of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم during a journey. He said to me: Uqbah, should I not teach you two best surahs ever recited? He then taught me: Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn, and Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of men. He did not see me much pleased (by these two surahs). When he alighted for prayer, he led the people in the morning prayer and recited them in prayer. When the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم finished his prayer, he turned to me and said: O Uqbah, how did you see.
