حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ أَسِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْخَثْعَمِيِّ عَنْ فَرْوَةَ بْنِ مُجَاهِدٍ اللَّخْمِيِّ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ لَقِيتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لِي يَا عُقْبَةُ بْنَ عَامِرٍ صِلْ مَنْ قَطَعَكَ وَأَعْطِ مَنْ حَرَمَكَ وَاعْفُ عَمَّنْ ظَلَمَكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لِي يَا عُقْبَةُ بْنَ عَامِرٍ أَمْلِكْ لِسَانَكَ وَابْكِ عَلَى خَطِيئَتِكَ وَلْيَسَعْكَ بَيْتُكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ لَقِيتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لِي يَا عُقْبَةُ بْنَ عَامِرٍ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ سُوَرًا مَا أُنْزِلَتْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَلَا فِي الزَّبُورِ وَلَا فِي الْإِنْجِيلِ وَلَا فِي الْفُرْقَانِ مِثْلُهُنَّ لَا يَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَيْكَ لَيْلَةٌ إِلَّا قَرَأْتَهُنَّ فِيهَا قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ قَالَ عُقْبَةُ فَمَا أَتَتْ عَلَيَّ لَيْلَةٌ إِلَّا قَرَأْتُهُنَّ فِيهَا وَحُقَّ لِي أَنْ لَا أَدَعَهُنَّ وَقَدْ أَمَرَنِي بِهِنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَانَ فَرْوَةُ بْنُ مُجَاهِدٍ إِذَا حَدَّثَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ يَقُولُ أَلَا فَرُبَّ مَنْ لَا يَمْلِكُ لِسَانَهُ أَوْ لَا يَبْكِي عَلَى خَطِيئَتِهِ وَلَا يَسَعُهُ بَيْتُهُ.
English Translation
Husayn ibn Muhammad told us, Ibn Ayyash told us, from Asid ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Khath'ami, from Farwah ibn Mujahid al-Lakhmi, from Uqbah ibn Amir, who said: I met the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said to me: O Uqbah ibn Amir, maintain ties with one who cuts you off, give to one who deprives you, and forgive one who wrongs you. He said: Then I came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, again, and he said to me: O Uqbah ibn Amir, control your tongue, weep over your sin, and let your house suffice you. He said: Then I met the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, again, and he said to me: O Uqbah ibn Amir, shall I not teach you surahs the like of which has not been revealed in the Torah, nor the Psalms, nor the Gospel, nor the Qur'an (elsewhere) — let no night pass over you without reciting them: Say, He is Allah, the One; and Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak; and Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind. Uqbah said: No night has passed over me since without my reciting them, and it is only right that I never abandon them, since the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded me with them. And Farwah ibn Mujahid, whenever he narrated this hadith, used to say: How many there are who do not control their tongue, or do not weep over their sin, or whose house does not suffice them!
