It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was given a white mule as a gift. He (peace and blessings be upon him) rode it, and Sayyiduna Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) was leading it. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Recite. He said: O Messenger of Allah! What should I recite? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Recite {قُلْ أَ عُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ}. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this surah again, until he (Sayyiduna Uqbah, may Allah be pleased with him) had recited it. But when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw that I was not very pleased with this surah, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It seems you consider it insignificant; you have not recited a surah like this in prayer (i.e., this is an unparalleled surah to be recited in prayer).
