Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 10873

وَعَنْ أَبِي السَّلِيلِ قَالَ : كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يُكْثِرَ ، فَيَصْعَدُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتٍ فَيُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَيُّ آيَةٍ فِي الْقُرْآنِ أَعْظَمُ ؟ " . قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ . قَالَ : فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيَّ حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ بَرْدَهَا بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيَّ . أَوْ قَالَ مَوْضِعَ يَدَهُ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيَّ حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ بَرَدَهَا بَيْنَ كَتِفَيَّ . قَالَ : " يَهْنِكَ يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Abu al-Salil narrates: One of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was narrating hadith to the people, and he narrated a great many, then he climbed onto the roof of a house and began narrating hadith to the people. He related that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Which verse in the Qur'an is the greatest?" A man said: "Allah, there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining," that is, Ayat al-Kursi. That man says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his blessed hand between my shoulders until I felt its coolness in my chest. The narrator is in doubt; perhaps the words are: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his blessed hand on the middle of my chest until I felt its coolness between my shoulders. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu al-Mundhir! Congratulations to you."
Allamah al-Haythami says: Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
