Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَابِسٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ يَا ابْنَ عَابِسٍ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَفْضَلِ مَا تَعَوَّذَ الْمُتَعَوِّذُونَ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ هَاتَيْنِ السُّورَتَيْنِ.
English Translation
Hasan ibn Musa narrated to us, Shayban narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim, that Abu 'Abd al-Rahman told him that Ibn 'Abis al-Juhani told him that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him, "O Ibn 'Abis, shall I not tell you of the best thing that those who seek refuge [in Allah] seek refuge with?" I said, "Yes indeed." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak, and Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind" - these two surahs.
