حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ ، وَابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، قَالا : سَمِعْنَا يَزِيدَ بْنَ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ ، يَقُولُ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عِمْرَانَ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ ، يَقُولُ : تَعَلَّقْتُ بِقَدَمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَقْرِئْنِي سُورَةَ هُود ، وَسُورَةَ يُوسُفَ ، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَا عُقْبَةُ،إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَقْرَأَ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ سُورَةً أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَلَا أَبْلَغَ عِنْدَهُ مِن قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ "، قَالَ يَزِيدُ : فَلَمْ يَكُنْ أَبُو عِمْرَانَ يَدَعُهَا، كَانَ لَا يَزَالُ يَقْرَؤُهَا فِي صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ

Abdullah bin Yazid told us, Haywa and Ibn Lahi’ah told us, they said: We heard Yazid bin Abi Habib, saying: Abu Imran told me, He heard Uqba bin Amir say: I clung to the foot of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and I said to him: O Messenger of God, recite to me Surah Hud. And Surat Yusuf. Then the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to me: “O Uqba, you will never recite from the Qur’an a surah more beloved to God that will not convey the message.” “With him is someone who says, ‘I seek refuge in the Lord of creation.’” Yazid said: Abu Imran would not leave it alone. He would still recite it in the Maghrib prayer.
