It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu al-Mundhir, I have been commanded to present the Qur'an to you." He said: "I have believed in Allah, accepted Islam at your blessed hands, and learned (the Qur'an) from you." The narrator said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated his words, so he asked: "O Messenger of Allah, was I mentioned there?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, you were mentioned by your name and your lineage in the Highest Assembly (al-Mala' al-A'la)." He said: "Then recite now, O Messenger of Allah."
