أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ السُّوسِيُّ قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مَزِيدٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنِي الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ، أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالُوا: لَوْ أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَسُولًا يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ أَحَبِّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَى اللهِ. قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَذْهَبْ إِلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا وَهِبْنَا أَنْ نَسْأَلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُولَئِكَ النَّفْرَ رَجُلًا رَجُلًا حَتَّى جَمَعَهُمْ، وَنَزَلَتْ فِيهِمْ هَذِهِ السُّورَةُ: سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ: فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كُلَّهَا، قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ: قَرَأَهَا عَلَيْنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ كُلَّهَا، قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ: وَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ كُلَّهَا. ⦗٢٦٩⦘ قَالَ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ: وَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْنَا يَحْيَى كُلَّهَا، قَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ: قَالَ أَبِي: وَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ كُلَّهَا.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Companions said: Send someone to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to ask which deeds are most beloved to Allah. The narrator said: None of us went to him (peace and blessings be upon him); we held back from asking him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) called the members of that group one by one until they were all gathered, and this surah was revealed concerning them: "Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth glorifies Allah, and He is the Almighty, the All-Wise." [Surah al-Saff: 1]
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the entire surah to us. Abu Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) recited the entire surah to us. Yahya bin Abi Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Abu Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) recited that whole surah to us, and al-Awza'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Yahya (may Allah have mercy on him) recited the whole surah. Al-Abbas (may Allah have mercy on him) said that his father said that al-Awza'i (may Allah have mercy on him) also recited the entire surah.
