Hadith 18.2
Prayer
‘Uqba b. ‘Amir said that God’s Messenger ordered him to recite <i>al-Mu'awwidhat</i>* after every prayer. * Suras 113 and 114 are commonly called <i>al-Mu'awwidhatan</i>, this being the dual. Although <i>al-Masabih</i> has the dual, the <i>Mishkat</i> has the plural. In the notes to the Damascus edition it is suggested that <i>suras</i> 109 and 112 may be added, but it is more probable that the <i>Mishkat</i> has used the plural in error. Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Nasa’i and Baihaqi, in <i>[Kitab] ad-da‘awat al-kabir</i>, transmitted it.
وَعَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ: أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ بِالْمُعَوِّذَاتِ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ. رَوَاهُ احْمَدُ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ وَالْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي الدَّعَوَاتِ الْكَبِيرِ
