وحَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، أَنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ ، قَالَ : " لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُبِينًا { 1 } لِيَغْفِرَ لَكَ اللَّهُ سورة الفتح آية 1-2 إِلَى قَوْلِهِ فَوْزًا عَظِيمًا سورة الفتح آية 5 مَرْجِعَهُ مِنْ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ ، وَهُمْ يُخَالِطُهُمُ الْحُزْنُ وَالْكَآبَةُ ، وَقَدْ نَحَرَ الْهَدْيَ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ ، فَقَالَ : لَقَدْ أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيَّ آيَةٌ هِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا جَمِيعًا " ،
It has been narrated on the authority of Anas bin Malik (RA) who said: When they (Companions of the Holy Prophet) were overwhelmed with grief and distress on his return from Hudaibiya where he had slaughtered his sacrificial beasts (not being allowed to proceed to Makkah), the Qur'anic verse: Inna fatahna... laka fathan mobinan to fauzan 'aziman, was revealed to him. (At this) he said: On me has descended a verse that is dearer to me than the whole world.
