حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَحِيرٍ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ الْقَاصُّ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ الصَّنْعَانِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُ رَأْيُ عَيْنٍ فَلْيَقْرَأْ إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْفَطَرَتْ وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْشَقَّتْ وَأَحْسَبُهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ سُورَةَ هُودٍ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4806
'Abd ar-Rahmaan ibn yazeed as-San'aani narrated that he heard Ibn 'Umar say: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said. "Whoever would like to look at the Day of Resurrection as if he can see it let him read: 'When the gun is wound round and lost its light and is overthrown' [al-Takweer 81], 'When the heaven is cleft asunder' [al-Infitaar 821 and 'When the heaven is split asunder' [al-Inshiqaaq 84]" and I think he said: "Soorat Hood."
