✧ We gathered and reminded one another, saying: 'Which of you will go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to ask him which deeds are most beloved to Allah?' Then we separated and were in awe that any of us should go to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for us and gathered us, and some of us began gesturing to others. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited to us: 'Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth glorifies Allah, and He is the Mighty, the Wise. O you who believe, why do you say what you do not do?' to the end of the surah. Abu Salama said: 'Abdullah b. Salam recited it to us from its beginning to its end.
