باب فَضْلِ فَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ:Chapter on the virtue of Surah Al-Fatiha
Hadith 3403
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُعَلَّى الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ: "مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: "أَلَمْ يَقُلْ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَأَنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ سورة الأنفال آية 24، قَالَ: أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ أَعْظَمَ سُورَةٍ فِي الْقُرْآنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مِنْ الْمَسْجِدِ ؟، فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ، قَالَ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ سورة الفاتحة آية 2 وَهِيَ السَّبْعُ الْمَثَانِي، وَالْقُرْآنُ الْعَظِيمُ الَّذِي أُوتِيتُمْ".
Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id bin al-Mu‘alla al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me (and in al-Bukhari: I was praying, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called me, but I did not respond). So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Did Allah not say: «﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ . . . . . .﴾» [انفال: 24/8] ‘O you who believe! Respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you’?” Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Before you leave the mosque, I will tell you about the greatest surah in the Qur’an.” And when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to leave, he said: “That greatest surah is ‘Alhamdu lillahi Rabbil ‘alamin’ (i.e., Surah al-Fatihah), which is the Seven Oft-Repeated Verses and the Great Qur’an which has been given to you.”
