حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنْ أَسِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي أَسِيدٍ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ خُبَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ أَصَابَنَا طَشٌّ وَظُلْمَةٌ فَانْتَظَرْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُصَلِّيَ لَنَا فَخَرَجَ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَقَالَ قُلْ فَسَكَتُّ قَالَ قُلْ قُلْتُ مَا أَقُولُ قَالَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَالْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ حِينَ تُمْسِي وَحِينَ تُصْبِحُ ثَلَاثًا يَكْفِيكَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ.
English Translation
Abdullah told us, Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr al-Muqaddami told me, al-Dahhak ibn Makhlad told us, Ibn Abi Dhi'b told us, from Asid ibn Abi Asid, from Mu'adh ibn Abdullah ibn Khubayb, from his father, who said: We were struck by drizzle and darkness, so we waited for the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, to lead us in prayer. He came out and took my hand and said: Say. I was silent. He said: Say. I said: What shall I say? He said: Say 'Say, He is Allah, the One' and the two protective surahs when you enter the evening and when you enter the morning, three times - it will suffice you twice each day.
