It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, should I recite Surah Yusuf and Surah Hud?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Uqbah, recite 'Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak' [Surah al-Falaq: 1] , for you cannot recite any surah more beloved to Allah and more effective with Him than it. So if you are able not to let it slip from you, then do so." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took her by the hand, pointed towards the moon and said: "Seek refuge with Allah from the evil of this, for this is the darkening one (the moon) when it becomes dark." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
