Hadith on Mu’awwidhatayn: Best two chapters for seeking refuge in Allah

Ibn ‘Abis al-Juhani reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him, “O Ibn ‘Abis, shall I not tell you about the best way to seek refuge for those who seek it?” He said, “Of course, O Messenger of Allah.” The Prophet said, “These two chapters, ‘Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak,’ (113:1) and, ‘Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of the people,’ (114:1).”

عَنِ ابْنِ عَابِسٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ يَا ابْنَ عَابِسٍ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ بِأَفْضَلِ مَا يَتَعَوَّذُ بِهِ الْمُتَعَوِّذُونَ قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ هَاتَيْنِ السُّورَتَيْنِ
