It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "We were discussing the deeds most beloved to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and we said (among ourselves): 'Who will ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (about this) on our behalf?' But out of awe and reverence for him (peace and blessings be upon him) we were afraid to ask. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) summoned us one by one until we had all gathered in his (peace and blessings be upon him) presence. Some of us went to others, but we did not know (what the matter was). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for us, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this surah to us: from 'Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth glorifies Allah' up to the words of Allah Almighty: 'a solid structure.'" Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this whole surah to us from beginning to end." Abu Salamah bin Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "And Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) recited this complete surah to us from beginning to end."
