٣١٢٤ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَنَفِيُّ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، عَنِ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ أُمُّ الْقُرْآنِ وَأُمُّ الْكِتَابِ وَالسَّبْعُ وَالْمَثَانِي». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary
Al-Hamdulillah is Sūrat Al-Fātiḥah, it is also called Umm Al-Qur'ān (Mother of the Qur'ān) and Umm Al-Kitāb (Mother of the Book), because it is the beginning and preface of the Qur'ān, this is the one written in the beginning of the Qur'ān, the recitation in the prayer also begins with it, it consists of all the subjects of the Qur'ān. It has seven Verses that are read repeatedly in each Rak'ah. Umm means root and foundation, as the stone of date fruit is called 'the mother of date palm tree'; and the whole tree grows from it.
