´It was narrated that Ibn Abbas said:` "When Jibril was with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), he heard a sound from above like a door opening. Jibril, peace be upon him, looked up toward the sky and said: 'This is a gate in Heaven that has been opened, but it was never opened before." He said: "An Angel came down from it and came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: 'Receive the glad tidings of two lights that have been given to you and were never given to any prophet before you: The Opening of the Book (Al-Fatihah) and the last verses of Surat Al-Baqarah. You will never recite a single letter of them but you will be granted it.'"

➋ Besides Jibril (alayhis salam), there are other angels who bring divine revelation, who are assistants to Jibril (alayhis salam).
➌ The heavens also have gates, and they are indeed opened and closed.
➍ From this blessed hadith, the superiority of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) over the other prophets (alayhimus salam) is also established.
