أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ رُزَيْقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
بَيْنَمَا جِبْرِيلُ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ سَمِعَ نَقِيضًا مِنْ فَوْقِهِ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَقَالَ لَقَدْ فُتِحَ بَابٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَا فُتِحَ قَطُّ فَأَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبْشِرْ بِسُورَتَيْنِ أُوتِيتَهُمَا لَمْ يُعْطَهُمَا نَبِيٌّ كَانَ قَبْلَكَ فَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَخَوَاتِيمِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ لَنْ تَقْرَأَ مِنْهَا حَرْفًا إِلَّا أُعْطِيتَهُ

✧ While Gabriel was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ, he heard a creaking sound from above him. He raised his head and said, "A gate of heaven has been opened that has never been opened before." Then an angel came to him and said, "Rejoice in two surahs that you have been given and no prophet before you was given: the Opening of the Book and the closing verses of Surah al-Baqarah. You will not recite a letter from them except that you will be given it."
