Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 575

Translation

✧ “Shall I not teach you a surah the like of which has not been sent down in the Torah, nor in the Gospel, nor in the Criterion?” I said, “Yes, O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “Perhaps you will not leave through that door until I tell you about it.” So I stood up with him, and he began to talk to me while my hand was in his hand. I began to walk slowly, disliking that he should go out before he told me about it. When I drew near the door, I said, “O Messenger of Allah, the surah you promised me.” He said, “How do you begin when you stand for prayer?” He said, “So I recited the Opening of the Book.” He said, “It is that, it is that, and it is the seven oft-repeated verses about which Allah said: ‘And We have certainly given you seven of the oft-repeated and the great Qur’an’ — it is that which I have been given [and granted].”

• 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. Report a problem
