اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُعَلَّى، قَالَ: مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: "أَلَمْ يَقُلْ اللَّهُ: يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ سورة الأنفال آية 24"، ثُمَّ قَالَ: "أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ سُورَةً أَعْظَمَ سُورَةٍ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مِنْ الْمَسْجِدِ ؟". فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ، قَالَ: "الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ، وَهِيَ السَّبْعُ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنُ الْعَظِيمُ الَّذِي أُوتِيتُمْ".
Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id bin Ma‘la (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed by me and said: “Have you not read the statement of Allah Almighty: «يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ ...» [انفال: 24/8] meaning, when Allah and His Messenger call you, then respond with ‘yes’.” Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Shall I not teach you a surah before you leave the mosque, which is the greatest surah of the Qur’an?” Then when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) intended to leave, he said: “«اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ» This is the seven oft-repeated verses and the Great Qur’an which has been given to you.”
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 1530)
By "Sab‘ al-Mathani" is meant the seven verses which are recited repeatedly, and this is an allusion to the noble verse: «﴿وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعًا مِنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمَ﴾ [الحجر : 87]». The details of this hadith are found in the narration of Sahih al-Bukhari.
Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id radi Allahu anhu said that I was performing prayer when the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam called me in that very state, but I did not respond. Afterwards, when I presented myself in his service, I submitted that I was engaged in prayer. Upon this, he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: Did you not hear the command of Allah the Exalted... etc.
