حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا سُورَةُ الْأَنْفَالِ قَالَ نَزَلَتْ فِي بَدْرٍ الشَّوْکَةُ الْحَدُّ مُرْدَفِينَ فَوْجًا بَعْدَ فَوْجٍ رَدِفَنِي وَأَرْدَفَنِي جَائَ بَعْدِي ذُوقُوا بَاشِرُوا وَجَرِّبُوا وَلَيْسَ هَذَا مِنْ ذَوْقِ الْفَمِ فَيَرْکُمَهُ يَجْمَعَهُ شَرِّدْ فَرِّقْ وَإِنْ جَنَحُوا طَلَبُوا السِّلْمُ وَالسَّلْمُ وَالسَّلَامُ وَاحِدٌ يُثْخِنَ يَغْلِبَ وَقَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ مُکَائً إِدْخَالُ أَصَابِعِهِمْ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَتَصْدِيَةً الصَّفِيرُ لِيُثْبِتُوکَ لِيَحْبِسُوکَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 4647
Narrated Abu Sa`id bin Al-Mu'alla: While I was praying, Allah's Messenger passed me and called me, but I did not go to him until I had finished the prayer. Then I went to him, and he said, "What prevented you from coming to me? Didn't Allah say:-- "O you who believe! Answer the call of Allah (by obeying Him) and His Apostle when He calls you?" He then said, "I will inform you of the greatest Sura in the Qur'an before I leave (the mosque)." When Allah's Messenger got ready to leave (the mosque), I reminded him. He said, "It is: 'Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.' (i.e. Surat-al-Fatiha) As-sab'a Al-Mathani (the seven repeatedly recited Verses).
