He said: "While Jibrīl, peace be upon him, was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ, he heard a creaking sound from above him. He raised his head to the sky and said: 'This door of the heaven has been opened; it has never been opened before.' He said: Then an angel descended from it. He said: 'This angel has descended to the earth; he had never descended before.' He said: The angel came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, greeted him with salām, and said: 'O Muḥammad, receive the glad tidings of two lights that you have been given, which no prophet before you was given: the Opening of the Book (Sūrat al-Fātiḥah), and the closing verses of Sūrat al-Baqarah. You will not recite a letter of them except that you will be given it.'"
