English translation

1399. It was reported from 'Eisā bin Hilāl As-Sadafi, from 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr, who said: "A man came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: 'Teach me (some Qur'an) to recite, O Messenger of Allāh.' He said: 'Read three (Sūrahs) which begin with Alif Lām Mīm.' He replied: 'I have become old, and my heart is hard, and my tongue is coarse!' So he said: 'Then recite three (Sūrahs) which begin with Hā Mīm.' But the man repeated what he had said earlier. So the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Recite three (Sūrahs) which begin with the glorification of Allāh (Al-Musabbiḥat).'[1] But he repeated the same (excuse) that he had stated earlier, then said, 'O Messenger of Allāh, teach me a comprehensive Sūrah.' So the Prophet ﷺ recited: 'When the earth will shake with a (tremendous) shaking...[1] until he completed the Sūrah. The man then said: 'I swear by He Who has sent you with the truth, I will never increase more than this forever.' Then the man Turned to leave, and the Prophet ﷺ said twice, 'The little man has been successful.'" (Hasan)

1399 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى الْبَلْخِيُّ، وَهَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَا: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَيَّاشُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ الْقِتْبَانِيُّ، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ هِلَالٍ الصَّدَفِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: أَتَى رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: أَقْرِئْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَقَالَ: «اقْرَأْ ثَلَاثًا مِنْ ذَوَاتِ الر»، فَقَالَ: كَبُرَتْ سِنِّي، وَاشْتَدَّ قَلْبِي، وَغَلُظَ لِسَانِي، قَالَ: «فَاقْرَأْ ثَلَاثًا مِنْ ذَوَاتِ حاميم»، فَقَالَ مِثْلَ مَقَالَتِهِ، فَقَالَ: «اقْرَأْ ثَلَاثًا مِنَ المُسَبِّحَاتِ»، فَقَالَ مِثْلَ مَقَالَتِهِ، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَقْرِئْنِي سُورَةً جَامِعَةً، فَأَقْرَأَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْهَا، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ، لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَيْهَا أَبَدًا، ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَفْلَحَ الرُّوَيْجِلُ» مَرَّتَيْنِ
