Hadith #265
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ حَدَّثَنَا بَحِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُهْدِيَتْ لَهُ بَغْلَةٌ شَهْبَاءُ فَرَكِبَهَا فَأَخَذَ عُقْبَةُ يَقُودُهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه
ُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعُقْبَةَ اقْرَأْ فَقَالَ وَمَا أَقْرَأُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اقْرَأْ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ فَأَعَادَهَا عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى قَرَأَهَا فَعَرَفَ أَنِّي لَمْ أَفْرَحْ بِهَا جِدًّا فَقَالَ لَعَلَّكَ تَهَاوَنْتَ بِهَا فَمَا قُمْتَ تُصَلِّي بِشَيْءٍ مِثْلِهَا

English Translation
ʿUqbah ibn ʿĀmir narrated that a grey mule was gifted to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he rode it. ʿUqbah took hold of its lead. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to ʿUqbah: "Recite." He said: "What shall I recite, O Messenger of Allah?" the Prophet ﷺ said: "Recite: 'Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak.'" He repeated it to him until he recited it. He noticed that I was not very enthusiastic about it, so he said: "Perhaps you belittle it, but you will never stand to pray with anything equal to it."
