حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ الْعَامِرِيُّ ثنا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ سُورَةً مَا أُنْزِلَتْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَلَا فِي الْإِنْجِيلِ وَلَا فِي الزَّبُورِ وَلَا فِي الْقُرْآنِ مِثْلُهَا؟» قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا تَخْرُجَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْبَابِ حَتَّى تَعْلَمَهَا» فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقُمْتُ مَعَهُ فَجَعَلَ يُحَدِّثُنِي وَيَدِي فِي يَدِهِ فَجَعَلْتُ أَتَبَاطَأُ كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُخْبِرُنِي بِهَا فَلَمَّا دَنَوْتُ مِنَ الْبَابِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ السُّورَةُ الَّتِي وَعَدْتَنِي فَقَالَ «كَيْفَ تَقْرَأُ إِذَا قُمْتَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ؟» فَقَرَأْتُ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ فَقَالَ هِيَ هِيَ وَهِيَ السَّبْعُ الْمَثَانِي الَّتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعًا مِنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمَ} [الحجر 87] الَّذِي أُعْطِيتُ «»

✧ "Shall I not teach you a surah the like of which was not sent down in the Torah, nor in the Gospel, nor in the Psalms, nor in the Qur'an?" I said, "Yes, indeed." He said, "I hope that you will not leave through that door until you learn it." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up, and I stood with him. He began to speak to me while my hand was in his hand. I started to walk slowly, disliking that he would leave before telling me it. When I approached the door, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, the surah you promised me?" He said, "How do you recite when you stand for prayer?" So I recited the Opening of the Book. He said, "It is it, it is it, and it is the seven oft-repeated verses that Allah ﷻ said: {And We have certainly given you seven of the oft-repeated verses and the great Qur'an} [al-Hijr 87], which I was given."

machine translationThis is an authentic (ṣaḥīḥ) hadith meeting the criteria of Muslim, though the two of them did not record it.
in المستدرك على الصحيحين, p. 2055 - Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
اختلف على العلاء في هذا الحديث كما ترى في الإسناد والمتن وأظنه كان في حفظه شيء والله أعلم وقد جوده ابن أبي شيبة ويوسف بن موسى عن أبي أسامة عن عبد الحميد بن جعفر
machine translationThere was disagreement about al-ʿAlāʾ in this hadith, as you see, in the chain and in the text. I think there was something in his memory, and God knows best. Ibn Abī Shaybah and Yūsuf b. Mūsā have transmitted it well, from Abū Usāmah, from ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd b. Jaʿfar.
