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.”
Hadith 3404
Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Al-Fatihah (the Opening of the Book) itself is the Seven Oft-Repeated (verses)."
Hadith 3405
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Neither in the Torah, nor in the Psalms, nor in the Gospel, nor in the Qur'an has a surah like this been revealed (the Prophet's intention was Umm al-Qur'an), which is the Seven Oft-Repeated (verses) and the Great Qur'an that has been given to me."
Hadith 3406
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Alhamdulillah is Umm al-Qur’an, Umm al-Kitab, and Sab‘ al-Mathani.”
