121 - The special merit of the last two surahs

عَنْ عُقبةَ بنِ عَامرٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ : «أَلَمْ تَرَ آيَاتٍ أُنْزِلَتِ اللَّيْلَةَ لَمْ يُرَ مِثْلُهُنَّ قَطُّ: ﴿قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ﴾ [الفلق: 1]، و ﴿قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ﴾ [الناس: 1]»

Uqbah ibn ‘Āmir narrated that God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said:

Have you not seen that tonight certain verses have been revealed, the like of which have never been known? ‘Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak’, and ‘Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind’..
