5006. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Mu'allā: While I was offering Ṣalāt (prayer), the Prophet ﷺ called me but I did not respond to his call. Later I said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I was offering Ṣalāt (prayer)." He said, "Didn't Allāh say: 'Answer Allāh (by obeying Him) and (His) Messenger when he (ﷺ) calls you?" (V.8:24) He then said, "Shall I not teach you the greatest Sūrah in the Qur'an?" He said, "(It is), 'All the praises and thanks be to Allāh, the Lord of Ālamīn (mankind, jinn and all that exists).' (i.e., Sūrat Al-Fātiha As-Saba' Al-Mathānī (the seven repeatedly recited Verses) and the Grand Qur'an which has been given to me."

5006 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي خُبَيْبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدِ بْنِ المُعَلَّى، قَالَ: كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي، فَدَعَانِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ أُجِبْهُ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي، قَالَ: " أَلَمْ يَقُلِ اللَّهُ: اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ؟ "، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَلاَ أُعَلِّمُكَ أَعْظَمَ سُورَةٍ فِي القُرْآنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ مِنَ المَسْجِدِ»، فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي، فَلَمَّا أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَخْرُجَ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّكَ قُلْتَ: «لَأُعَلِّمَنَّكَ أَعْظَمَ سُورَةٍ مِنَ القُرْآنِ» قَالَ: «الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ، هِيَ السَّبْعُ المَثَانِي، وَالقُرْآنُ العَظِيمُ الَّذِي أُوتِيتُهُ»
