أَبِي سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُعَلَّى ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَدَعَاهُ ، قَالَ : فَصَلَّيْتُ ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ : " مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُجِيبَنِي ؟ " ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي ، قَالَ : " أَلَمْ يَقُلِ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ سورة الأنفال آية 24 ، لَأُعَلِّمَنَّكَ أَعْظَمَ سُورَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ، أَوْ فِي الْقُرْآنِ شَكَّ خَالِدٌ ، قَبْلَ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ " قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَوْلُكَ ، قَالَ : " الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ سورة الفاتحة آية 2هِيَ السَّبْعُ الْمَثَانِي الَّتِي أُوتِيتُ وَالْقُرْآنُ الْعَظِيمُ " .
Abu Saeed bin al-Mu'alla said that when he was praying the Prophet ﷺ passed by him and he called him. He said: I prayed ant then I came to him. He asked: What prevented you from answering me ? He replied: I was praying. He said: Has not Allah said: "O you who believe, respond to Allah and the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life ? (8: 24) Let me teach you the greatest surah from the Quran or in the Quran (the narrator Khalid doubted) before I leave the mosque. I said: (I shall memorize) your saying. He said: It is: "Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Universe" which is the seven oft-repeated verses, and the mighty Quran.
