حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ ، أَنَّ مَوْلًى لِابْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ رَجُلَ صِدْقٍ أَخْبَرَهُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ ، يَقُولُ : إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَاءَهُمْ فِي صُفَّةِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَسَأَلَهُ إِنْسَانٌ أَيُّ آيَةٍ فِي الْقُرْآنِ أَعْظَمُ ؟ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ " .
Narrated Ibn al-Asqa: The Prophet ﷺ came to them in the swelling place of immigrants and a man asked him: Which is the greatest verse of the Quran ? The Prophet ﷺ replied: Allah, there is no god but He - the Living, the Self-Subsisting Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. "
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Ayat al-Kursi is the greatest in terms of its virtue and effect, otherwise in length, the verse of Mudaayanah (O you who have believed, when you contract a debt...) (al-Baqarah: 282) is longer than it.
➋ The entire Noble Qur’an is from Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, but in terms of subject matter, some verses have superiority over others.
➌ In the word (al-Qayyum), other recitations such as (al-Qiyam) and (al-Qayyam) are also transmitted.
