كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يُكْثَرَ عَلَيْهِ، فَيَصْعَدَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتٍ فَيُحَدِّثَ النَّاسَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَيُّ آيَةٍ فِي الْقُرْآنِ أَعْظَمُ ؟ [قَالَ] فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: اللهُ لا إِلَهَ إِلا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ قَالَ: فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيَّ قَالَ: فَوَجَدْتُ بَرْدَهَا بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيَّ أَوْ قَالَ: فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيَّ فَوَجَدْتُ بَرْدَهَا بَيْنَ كَتِفَيَّ قَالَ: يَهْنِكَ يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ، الْعِلْمَ الْعِلْمَ

✧ There was a man among the companions of the Prophet ﷺ who used to speak to the people until they became tired of him. So he climbed up the back of a house and started speaking to the people. He said, "What is the greatest verse in the Quran?" A man said, "{Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence}" [Quran 2:255]. The man placed his hand between his shoulders and said, "Ifound its coolness between my chest and my back." He said, "May you be blessed, O Abu Al-Mundhir, the knowledge, the knowledge."
