English translation

‘Uqba b. ‘Āmir said that when he asked God’s messenger whether he should recite <i>sūra Hūd</i> (Qur’ān, 11) or <i>sūra Yūsuf</i> (Qur’ān, 12), he told him he could recite nothing more effective with God than “Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn.” Ahmad, Nasā’i and Dārimī transmitted it.
