Special Virtues of the Qur'an's Chapters and Verses 93
أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَابِسٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لَهُ " يَا ابْنَ عَابِسٍ أَلاَ أَدُلُّكَ - أَوْ قَالَ أَلاَ أُخْبِرُكَ - بِأَفْضَلِ مَا يَتَعَوَّذُ بِهِ الْمُتَعَوِّذُونَ " . قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . قَالَ " قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ هَاتَيْنِ السُّورَتَيْنِ."
Maḥmūd ibn Khālid informed us; al-Walīd narrated to us; Abū ʿAmr narrated to us, from Yaḥyā, from Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm ibn al-Ḥārith. Abū ʿAbdullāh informed me that Ibn ʿĀbis al-Juhanī told him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: ‘O Ibn ʿĀbis, shall I not guide you—or, he said, inform you—of the best refuge that those who seek refuge can use?’ He replied, ‘Yes, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said, ‘“Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak” and “Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind”—these two sūrahs.’
