2878. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: "For everything there is a hump (pinnacle) and the hump (pinnacle) of the Qur'an is Sūrat Al-Baqarah, in it there is an Āyah which is the master of the Āyāt in the Qur'an; [it is] Āyat Al-Kursī." (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb, we do not know of it except through the narration of Hakīm bin Jubair. Shu'bah criticized him and graded him weak.

٢٨٧٨ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌حُسَيْنٌ الْجُعْفِيُّ ، عَنْ ‌زَائِدَةَ ، عَنْ ‌حَكِيمِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ سَنَامٌ، وَإِنَّ سَنَامَ الْقُرْآنِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ»، وَفِيهَا آيَةٌ هِيَ سَيِّدَةُ آيِ الْقُرْآنِ، هِيَ آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ حَكِيمِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ. وَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ شُعْبَةُ فِي حَكِيمِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ وَضَعَّفَهُ.

Commentary

Sūrat Al-Baqarah is the longest Sūrah of the Qur'an. The fundamental rules, beliefs and the principles of the Shari'ah mentioned in this Sūrah are not found in any other Sūrah of the Qur'an with such detail; due to this speciality and distinction this Sūrat has been placed, after Sūrat Al-Fātiḥah which is the foundation of Qur'an. Also because of this distinction it is named the Hump of the Qur'an.
