4703. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Mu'allā: While I was offering Ṣalāt (prayer), the Prophet ﷺ passed by and called me, but I did not go to him till I had finished my Ṣalāt (prayer). When I went to him, he said, "What prevented you from coming?" I said, "I was offering Ṣalāt (prayer)." He said, "Didn't Allāh say: 'O you who believe! Answer Allāh (by obeying Him) and (His) Messenger.'" (V.8:24) He then said, "May I teach you the greatest Sūrah in the Qur'ān before I go out of the mosque?". When the Prophet ﷺ intended to go out (of the mosque), I reminded him and he said, "That is: 'Alḥamdu lillāhi Rabbil 'ālamīn [All the praises and thanks be to Allāh, the Lord of the 'ālamīn (mankind, jinn, and all that exists)] which is the seven repeatedly recited Verses (Al-Mathānī, Sūrat Al-Fatiḥa) and the Grand Qur'ān which has been given to me." (See H. 4474)

4703 - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدِ بْنِ المُعَلَّى، قَالَ: مَرَّ بِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي، فَدَعَانِي فَلَمْ آتِهِ حَتَّى صَلَّيْتُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ، فَقَالَ: «مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي؟» فَقُلْتُ: كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي، فَقَالَ: " أَلَمْ يَقُلِ اللَّهُ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ} [الأنفال: 24] ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَلاَ أُعَلِّمُكَ أَعْظَمَ سُورَةٍ فِي القُرْآنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مِنَ المَسْجِدِ» فَذَهَبَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيَخْرُجَ مِنَ المَسْجِدِ فَذَكَّرْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: «الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ. هِيَ السَّبْعُ المَثَانِي، وَالقُرْآنُ العَظِيمُ الَّذِي أُوتِيتُهُ»
