Mu`adh bin `Abdullah bin Khubaib, narrated from his father, who said: “We Went Out On A Rainy And Extremely Dark Night, Looking For The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ), So That He Could Lead Us In Salat.” He Said: “So I Met Him And He (ﷺ) Said: ‘Speak’ But I Did Not Say Anything. Then He (ﷺ) Said: ‘Speak.’ But I Did Not Say Anything. He (ﷺ) Said: ‘Speak.’ So I Said: ‘What Should I Say?’ He (ﷺ) Said: ‘Say: “Say: He Is Allah, The One” And Al-Mu`Awwidhatain, When You Reach Evening, And When You Reach Morning, Three Times, They Will Suffice You Against Everything.’”
