Riyad as-Salihin, 1014
'Uqbah bin 'Amir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Do you not know that last night certain Ayat were revealed the like of which there is no precedence. They are: 'Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Rubb of the daybreak' (Surah 113), and 'Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Rubb of mankind' (Surah 114)." <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعن عقبة بن عامر رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال :
ألم ترَ آيات أنزلت هذه الليلة لم يرَ مثلهن قط ؟ قل أعوذ برب الفلق، وقل أعوذ برب الناس
.((رواه مسلم)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) Ruqyah (faith-healing verses), by the Qur’an in general and by the refuge-seeking Surahs and verses in particular, provides protection for the believer against the evil eye and any harm posed by humans or jinns.<br>
2) It points out the merit of the two refuge-seeking Surahs, i.e. Surat al-Falaq and Surat al-Nās, as they contain total resort to Allah Almighty and abandonment of any attachment to worldly means. No one seeks refuge through them with faith and sincerity except that Allah Almighty will grant him refuge.<br>
3) Finding sufficiency in the Qur’an is the way of the fortunate and guided servants of Allah Almighty.
