Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 10877

وَعَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ : جَلَسَ مَسْرُوقٌ وَشُتَيْرُ بْنُ شَكَلٍ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْأَعْظَمِ فَرَآهُمَا النَّاسُ فَتَحَوَّلُوا إِلَيْهِمَا ، فَقَالَ شُتَيْرٌ لِمَسْرُوقٍ : إِنَّمَا تَحَوَّلَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَيْنَا لِنُحَدِّثَهُمْ ، فَإِمَّا أَنْ تُحَدِّثَ وَأُصَدِّقَكَ ، وَإِمَّا أَنَّ أُحَدِّثَ وَتُصَدِّقَنِي ، فَقَالَ مَسْرُوقٌ : حَدِّثْ وَأُصَدِّقُكَ ، فَقَالَ شُتَيْرٌ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ أَنْ أَعْظَمَ آيَةٍ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ : اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ . فَقَالَ مَسْرُوقٌ : صَدَقْتَ .
قُلْتُ : وَهُوَ بِتَمَامِهِ فِي سُورَةِ الطَّلَاقِ . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Imam al-Sha'bi narrates: Once Masruq and Shutayr bin Shakal were sitting in the great mosque. The people saw them, got up and came over to them. Shutayr said to Masruq: "These people have come over to us so that we may narrate some hadith to them. Either you narrate and I will confirm what you say, or I will narrate and you confirm what I say." Masruq said: "You narrate, and I will confirm what you say." So Shutayr narrated that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) told us: The greatest verse in the Book of Allah is "Allah, there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining" to the end of the verse. Masruq said: "You have spoken the truth."
Allamah al-Haythami says: I say: This narration will come in full under Surah al-Talaq. Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
