حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي هِلَالٌ أَنَّ عَطَاءَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَلَامٍ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَوْ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ ، قَالَ : تَذَاكَرْنَا بَيْنَنَا ، فَقُلْنَا : أَيُّكُمْ يَأْتِي رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَيَسْأَلُهُ : أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - ، فَهِبْنَا أَنْ يَقُومَ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - رَجُلًا رَجُلًا ، حَتَّى جَمَعَنَا ، فَجِئْنَا يُشِيرُ بَعْضُنَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ ، فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - سُورَةَ سَبَّحَ لِلهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لا تَفْعَلُونَ فَتَلَاهُنَّ مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا إِلَى آخِرِهَا . قَالَ : فَتَلَاهَا عَلَيْنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا إِلَى آخِرِهَا قَالَ : فَتَلَاهَا عَلَيْنَا عَطَاءٌ مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا إِلَى آخِرِهَا ، قَالَ يَحْيَى : فَتَلَاهَا عَلَيْنَا هِلَالٌ مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا إِلَى آخِرِهَا ، قَالَ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ : فَتَلَاهَا عَلَيْنَا يَحْيَى مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا إِلَى آخِرِهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "We discussed among ourselves and said: 'Which of you will go to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and ask him which deed is most beloved to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic?' None of us dared (out of awe) to stand up for this. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for us one man at a time until he had gathered us. When we came, we were pointing at one another (in surprise). Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited to us the whole Surah (al-Saff): 'Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth glorifies Allah, and He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. O you who believe, why do you say what you do not do?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this surah completely from its beginning to its end." The narrator said: Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) recited this surah to us from beginning to end; then Ata bin Yasar (may Allah have mercy on him) recited this surah to us from beginning to end. Yahya bin Abi Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Then Hilal (may Allah have mercy on him) recited this surah to us from beginning to end. And Imam al-Awza'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Then Yahya bin Abi Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) recited this surah to us from its beginning to its end.
