سنن نسائی · Hadith 5446

It was narrated that ‘Uqbah bin ‘Amir Al-Juhani said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said to me: ‘Say.’ I said: ‘What should I say?’ He said: ‘Say: He is Allah, (the) One),’ ‘Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of the daybreak,’ ‘Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of mankind.” The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم recited them, then he said: ‘The people have never recited anything like them, or the people have never sought refuge (with Allah) by means of anything like them.” (Hasan)
