عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّوَّاسَ بْنَ سَمْعَانَ الْكِلَابِيَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ يُؤْتَى بِالْقُرْآنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَأَهْلِهِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ بِهِ تَقَدَّمُهُمْ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ وَآلِ عِمْرَانَ وَضَرَبَ لَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَمْثَالٍ مَا نَسِيتُهُنَّ بَعْدُ قَالَ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ ظُلَّتَانِ أَوْ سَوْدَاوَانِ بَيْنَهُمَا شَرْقٌ كَأَنَّهُمَا فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَّافَ يُحَاجَّانِ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِمَا
Sayyiduna Nawas bin Sam'an Kalabi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, the Qur'an and those who acted upon it will be brought forth, Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Aal-e-Imran will be in front of them. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave three examples of these two Surahs, which I have not forgotten till now. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is as if these two Surahs will be two clouds, or two shades, or two shadow-like (shades) in which there will be light, or as if they will be two flocks of birds with outspread wings, and they will defend those who recited them.
