Hadith 184
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ ، أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى عَامِرِ بْنِ كُرَيْزٍ ، أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَادَى أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ لَحِقَهُ ، فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ عَلَى يَدِهِ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنْ بَاب الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا تَخْرُجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ ، حَتَّى تَعْلَمَ سُورَةً مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَلَا فِي الْإِنْجِيلِ وَلَا فِي الْقُرْآنِ مِثْلَهَا " . قَالَ أُبَيٌّ : فَجَعَلْتُ أُبْطِئُ فِي الْمَشْيِ رَجَاءَ ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، السُّورَةَ الَّتِي وَعَدْتَنِي ، قَالَ : " كَيْفَ تَقْرَأُ إِذَا افْتَتَحْتَ الصَّلَاةَ ؟ " قَالَ : فَقَرَأْتُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ عَلَى آخِرِهَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " هِيَ هَذِهِ السُّورَةُ وَهِيَ السَّبْعُ الْمَثَانِي ، وَالْقُرْآنُ الْعَظِيمُ الَّذِي أُعْطِيتُ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) called Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was praying. When he finished the prayer, he met the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) placed his hand on the hand of Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him), and he was about to leave through the door of the mosque. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "I wish that you do not leave through the door of the mosque until you learn a surah such that neither the Torah, nor the Gospel, nor the Qur'an has anything like it." Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) said: So I walked slowly in hope of this. Then I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! Teach me the surah which you promised. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "How do you recite when you begin the prayer?" Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) said: So I began to recite «﴿الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ﴾» until I finished the surah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "It is this surah, and this surah is the Sab‘ al-Mathani and the Great Qur'an which I have been given."
