English translation

2875. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came out to Ubayy bin Ka'b, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "O Ubayy!" And he was performing Salāt, so Ubayy turned around but he did not respond to him, so Ubayy finished his Salāt quickly. Then he turned to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: 'As-Salāmu 'Alaikum, O Messenger of Allāh!' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Wa 'Alaikum As-Salām - what prevented you from responding to me when I called you Ubayy?' He said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! I was performing Salāt.' So he said: 'Do you not find among what Allāh revealed to me: Respond to Allāh and to the Messenger when they call you to what gives you life?' He said: 'Of course, I shall not repeat that, if Allāh wills.' He said: 'Would you like for me to teach you a Sūrah the likes of which has neither been revealed in the Tawrah, nor the Injil, nor the Zabūr, nor in the entire Qur'an?' He said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allāh! The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'What do you recite in your Ṣalāt?' He said: 'I recite Umm Al-Qur'an.' So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! The like of it has neither been revealed in the Tawrāh, nor the Injīl nor the Zabūr, nor in the Furqān. It is the seven oft-repeated, and the Magnificent Qur'an which I was given.'"(Ṣāḥih) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣāḥih. There are narrations on this topic from Anas bin Mālik [and also from Abū Sa'eed bin Al-Mu'allā].

Arabic text

٢٨٧٥ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنِ ‌الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ : «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ عَلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ»، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَا أُبَيُّ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي، فَالْتَفَتَ أُبَيٌّ وَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ، وَصَلَّى أُبَيٌّ، فَخَفَّفَ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: وَعَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ، مَا مَنَعَكَ يَا أُبَيُّ أَنْ تُجِيبَنِي إِذْ دَعَوْتُكَ؟ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي كُنْتُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ. قَالَ: أَفَلَمْ تَجِدْ فِيمَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنِ {اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ} قَالَ: بَلَى، وَلَا أَعُودُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ. قَالَ: تُحِبُّ أَنْ أُعَلِّمَكَ سُورَةً لَمْ يَنْزِلْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَلَا فِي الْإِنْجِيلِ وَلَا فِي الزَّبُورِ وَلَا فِي الْفُرْقَانِ مِثْلُهَا؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: كَيْفَ تَقْرَأُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟ قَالَ: فَقَرَأَ أُمَّ الْقُرْآنِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، مَا أُنْزِلَتْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَلَا فِي الْإِنْجِيلِ وَلَا فِي الزَّبُورِ وَلَا فِي الْفُرْقَانِ مِثْلُهَا، وَإِنَّهَا سَبْعٌ مِنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنِ الْعَظِيمِ الَّذِي أُعْطِيتُهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ.

Commentary

It is proven through this Ḥadīth: 1. The saying of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ is the revival of the life and makes the life delightful and joyful; it should be accepted wholeheartedly, warmly and actively without making any excuse or apology. 2. Sūrat Al-Fātiḥah is the foundation of the Qur'an and it consists of all the subjects of it.
