How many lucky leaders gained leadership through their attachment
to the Holy Prophet (S.W.A.S) Sufficient for you is the case of the
Faithful Believer (Abu Bakr) the companion of Muhammad
(P.B.O.H), and the case of the Criterion for separation between the
Truth and Falsehood, sufficient are they as role models. Let peace
and blessings of Allah be upon him who is in the grave of Ahmad
and those in the grave of Abu Bakr and the grave of Abi Hafsin.

ibn Jabr (RA) that Iblees the accursed of Allah Ta‟ala lamented on
four occasions: first when he
was cursed; secondly when he was cast out of Heaven to the
Earth; thirdly when Muhammad
(Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) was given the Prophethood; fourthly
when Surah Fatihah was revealed and it was revealed in Madinah.
Once the Prophet (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) was traveling when
he disembarked and began walking alongside a companion. He
asked him, “Shouldn’t I tell you the best part of the Qur’an? then
he recited “Alhamdu lilahi rabil alameen” (Praise be to Allah,
Lord of the Worlds).[Hakim 1/560; Dhahabi]Abu Saeed al-
Khudr‟i
(RA) narrates that while on a journey we halted at a place. A girl
came to us and said: “The chief of this tribe has been stung by a
scorpion and our men are not present, is there anybody amongst
you who can recite something upon him to treat him?” Then, one
of our men went along with her although we did not think that he
knew any such treatment. However, our friend went to the chief
and recited something upon him and the chief was cured.
Thereupon, the chief gave him thirty sheep and gave us all milk to
drink. When he returned, weasked our friend: “Did you know
anything to recite upon him to cure him?” He said: “No, I only
recited Umm al-Kitab (i.e. Surah al-Fatihah) upon him.” We said
that do not do anything until we reach Madinah and ask the
Prophet regarding this (practice and reward-whether the sheep
were lawful or not for us). Upon reaching Madinah, we narrated
this to the Prophet(Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam), whereupon he
remarked: “How did he come to know that Al-Fatihah can be used
as a cure? (Rasulullah said this in astonishment) Distribute your
reward amongst yourselves and allot a share for me as well.
[Sahih al-Bukhari]
Ibn ‘Abbas said, “WhileJibril (alayhis salam) was sitting with the
Prophet, he heard a sound above him and raised his head. He said,
„This is a door of heaven which has been opened today and
59
which has never been opened before today. An angel descended
from it. He said, “This is an angel who has descended to earth who
has never descended before today.” He gave the greeting and said,
“Give the good news of two lights which you have been given and
which noProphet before you was given: the Fatiha of the Book
and the end of Surah al-Baqarah (2). You will not recite a letter of
them without being given it.” [Muslim, Riyad as-Salihin by Imam
an- Nawawi]
Abu Sulaiman says that once a group of Companions were in an
expedition (ghazwa) when
they happened to come across an epileptic person, who was
unconscious. One of the Companions recited Surah Al-Fatiha and
blew in his ear. The epileptic person immediatelycured. When
Sayyidana Muhammad (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) was informed
of this, he said:“It (Surah Al-Fatiha) is “The Mother of the
Qur’an” (Umm al-Qur‟an) and is a cure for everydisease.”[This
narration has been recorded by Ath-Thua’ibi from Abu Sulaiman,
who narratedit from Muawiya bin Saleh (radhi Allah anhu),
Tafseer Mazhari 1:31]
Sa’ib (radhi Allah anhu) bin Yazeed says that Rasulullah (Sallaho
Alaihe Wassallam) recitedSurah Al-Fatihah and blew it on me. To
safeguard me against calamities, Rasulullah (SallahoAlaihe
Wassallam) recited this Surah and put his blessed saliva in my
mouth.[At-Tabraani narrated this tradition in ‘Al-Awsat, Tafseer
Mazhari 1:31]
Anas (radhi Allah anhu) said: “When you recite Surah Al-Fatihah
and Surah Al-Ikhlas upon lying on your bed, you will be
safeguarded and should become fearless of everything except
death.”[Narrated by Baraa‟, Tafseer Mazhari 1:31]
The Prophet said, “Whoever mastered the first seven (chapters or
verses) from the Qur’an is a pontiff”.[Hakim 1/564; Dhahabi]
The Prophet said, “The mother of the Qur’an are the seven oft
repeated verses” [Bukhari 4704]
60
It is narrated from Jabir (radhi Allah anhu) that Rasulullah
(Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) said: “O Jabir, shall I inform you
about the best Surah revealed in the Qur’an?” Jabir said: “O
Messenger of Allah, please inform me.” Rasulullah (
Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) said: “It is Fatiha tulKitab.” Jabir
adds: “And I think that Rasulullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam)
said that Al-Fatihais a cure for every disease.” Jabir is also
reported to have said: “Fatiha tul Kitab is a medicine for every
disease except death.”[Recorded by Al-Khal‟i in his Fawa‟id,
Tafseer Mazhari 1:30]
The Prophet said, “In the Fatiha of the Qur’an, there is a cure for
all maladies(illnesses)” [Darimi3236, also narrated by Ad-Darmi
in his Al-Masnad and Al-Bayhaqi in Shu‟bul Imaan,
TafseerMazhari 1:30]Surah Al-Fatihah is equivalent to two thirds
of the Qur’an. [Al-Bayhaqi and Al-Haakim,Tafseer Mazhari 1:31]
Surah Al Baqarah (2)
The Prophet said, “The Qur’an and those who committed
themselves to it will be presented on the Day of judgement,
preceded by Surah al-Baqarah and Surah al Imran‟.[Muslim 805]
The Prophet (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) said, “Learn how to
recite Surah al-Baqarah for there is a blessing in it, and there is
sorrow for abandoning it, and it is unbearable for the idle and that
Al Baqarah and Al Imran are like two flowers which will shade
their learner on the day of Judgement, as if there were two large
clouds or two flocks of birds”.[Ahmad 21872 & Buraidaal-Aslami
Muslim 1/553]
The Prophet said, “Recite Surah Al Baqarah in your dwellings and
do not keep themas tombs.He also said that whoever recited Surah
Al Baqarah at night would be crowned with a crown of paradise.”
[Baihaqi in Al-Shuaib]
Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah (Sallaho Alaihe
Wassallam) said, “Do notturn your houses into graves. Shaitan is
barred from any house in which Surat Al-Baqarah (2) isrecited.”
[Muslim 780, 4: 1707]
61
The Prophet was asked, “Which part of the Qur’an is the best?”
He replied, “The Surah in which the cow is mentioned”. He was
then asked “Which part of that Surah?” He replied, “Theverse of
the Throne and the last pasrt of Surah al Baqarah came down from
under the Throne” [Darimi 3248]
The Prophet (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) said, “Al Baqarah is the
top (or pinnacle) of the Qur’an. Eighty angels came down with
each one of it’s verses and extracted the verse of thethrone from
under the throne, and it was joined to the other verses” [Ahmad
5/26]
Abu Ummamah (RA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace
and blessings be upon him)said, “Whoever recites Ayat Al-Kursi
immediately after each prescribed Prayer, there will benothing
standing between him and his entering Paradise except
death.”[an- Nasa‟i, Ibn Hibban,Darimi 3249/A]
Imam Ahmad (rahimullah) said: It was narrated that Asma‟ bint
Yazid ibn As-Sakan (RA) said,I heard the Messenger of Allah
(peace and blessings be upon him) say about these two
verses —“Allah! There is no god but He, the Ever -Living, the
One Who sustains and protects all that
exists…” [Al -Baraqah, 2: 255] and “Alif. Laam. Meem. Allah!
Nonehas the right to beworshiped but He, the Ever-Living, the
One Who sustains and protects all that exists” [‟Al„Imran, 3: 1 -2]
—that they contain the greatest name of Allah.[abu Dawud, at-
Tirmidhi, Tafsir of Imam Ibn Kathir]
Ubayy ibn Ka‟b reported that the Messenger of Allah (Sallaho
Alaihe Wassallam) said, “OAbu’l-Mundhir! Do you know which
ayat in the Book of Allah is greatest you have? I said, “Allah.
there is no god but Him, the Living, the Self-Sustaining.‟
(W2:253; H2:256) He struck me on the chest and said, “May
knowledge delight you, Abu’l-Mundhir!”[Muslim, Riyad as-
Salihin by Imam an-Nawawi]
62
Imam Ahmad narrated: Muhammad ibn Ja‟far told us, Uthman
ibn Itab told us, he said: I heard
Abu As-Sulayl saying, A man from among the Companions of the
Prophet (SallahoAlaiheWassallam) addressed the people until a
large number had gathered around him, then he climbed onto the
roof of a house and addressed the people, saying: The Messenger
of Allah(Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) said, “Which verse of the
Qur’an is the greatest?” A man said, “Allah! There is no god but
He, the Ever-Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that
exists…‟ [Al-Baqarah, 2: 255].‟ He said: He put his hand between
my shoulders and I felt coolness in the center of my chest, [or he
said] he put his hand on the center of my chest and I felt coolness
between my shoulders, and he said, “Congratulations on your
knowledge, Abul-Mundhir.”
Another version of the same hadith. [Tafsir of Imam Ibn Kathir]It
was reported from the Messenger (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) that
“It is the greatest verse in the Book of Allah.” (referring to Ayat al
-Kursi). It was narrated from Ubayy ibn Ka‟b (RA) thatthe
Prophet (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) asked him which verse in the
Book of Allah was thegreatest.
He said, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He repeated it
several times, then he said, “Ayat Al-Kursi.” The Prophet (peace
and blessings be upon him) said, “Congratulations upon your
knowledge, Abul-Mundhir. By the One in Whose hand is my soul,
it has a tongue and two lips, and it glorifies the Sovereign (i.e.,
Allah) at the foot of the Throne.” [Tafsir of Imam Ibn Kathir] Abu
Umamah (RA) reported that the messenger of Allah (Sallaho
Alaihe Wassallam) said, “The greatest name of Allah, which if He
is called by it, He responds, is in three surahs: Al-Baqarah, Al-
Imran and Ta-Ha.”
Hisham ibn Ammar, the khateeb of Damascus, said: “In Al-
Baqarah, it is “Allah! There is no god but He, the Ever-Living, the
One Who sustains and protects all that exist‟ [Al-Baqarah, 2:
255]. In Al-Imran it is “Alif. Laam. Meem. Allah! There is no god
63
but He, the Ever-Living, the One Who sustains and protects all
that exists‟ [‟Al-Imran, 3:1-2]. And in Ta-Ha it is “And (all) faces
shall be humbled before (Allah), the Ever -Living, the One Who
sustains and protects all that exists” [Ta-Ha, 20: 111].[narrated in
amarfu‟ report (one that is traced all the way back to the Prophet
[Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam],Tafsir of Imam Ibn Kathir)]
The Prophet said, “Whoever recites 4 verses from the first part of
Surah Al Baqarah, the verse of the Throne, two verses after the
verse of the Throne and three verses from the last part of Surah al
Baqarah, Satan would never come near him or the members of his
family on that day, and nothing he despises would come near him
or the members of his family, and never are these verses recited
over a madman without him regaining his consciousness‟[Darimi
3249/A in the Book of Excellence of the Quran; an-Nasai in the
Deeds during the Day and Night; Ibn Hibban& Tabrani]
Abdullah ibn Mas‟ud (RA) said, “Whoever recited ten verses
from Al-Baqarah in the night, Satan shall not have access to that
house, during the night till he wakes in the morning. Theseare:
Four from the first part of the Surah, followed by the verse of the
Throne, two verses after the verse of the Throne and three from
the last part of the Surah‟.[Darimi 3248/A]
Abu Umamah (RA) reported that the Prophet (Sallaho Alaihe
Wassallam) said, “Recite Surah Al-Baqarah: for to hold on to it is
a barakah (blessing), to leave it is a regret” [Muslim]
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that the Prophet (Sallaho Alaihe
Wassallam) said, “Everything has a hump, and the hump of the
Qur’an is Al-Baqarah‟[at-Tirmidhi, ad-Darami]
Abu Mas‟ud al-Badri (RA) reported that the Prophet (Sallaho
Alaihe Wassallam) said, “If anyone recites the two ayats at the
end of Surat al-Baqarah (2) at night, they will be enough for
him.”[Sahih al-Bukhari 6:61 #530, Agreed upon]
It was narrated from Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Ka‟b (RA) that his
father told him that he had a vessel in which he kept dates. He
used to check on it and found that the number was decreasing. So
64
he kept guard on it one night and saw a beast that looked like an
adolescent boy. He said: I greeted him with Salaam and he
returned my greeting, then I asked him, “What are you, a jinn or a
human?” He said, “A jinn.” I said to him, “Show me your hand.”
So he showed me his hand, and it looked like a dog’s paw with
dog’s fur. I said, “Do all the jinn look like this?” He said, “I know
no one among the jinn who is stronger than I.” I said, “What made
you do what you did [i.e., taking the dates]?” He said, “We heard
that you are a man who loves charity, and we wanted to have
some of your food.” Ubayy asked him, “What will protect us from
you?” He said, “This verse, Ayat Al-Kursi.” Then the next day he
[Ubayy] went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
and told him (about what had happened) and he said, “The evil
one spoke the truth.”[Tafsir of Imam Ibn Katheer]
Ibn ‘Abbas (RA) said, “While Jibril (alayhis salam) was sitting
with the Prophet, he heard a sound above him and raised his head.
He said, ‘This is a door of heaven which has been opened today
and which has never been opened before today. An angel
descended from it. He said, “This is an angel who has descended
to earth who has never descended before today. He gave the
greeting and said, “Give the good news of two lights which you
have been given and which no Prophet before you was given: the
Fatiha of the Book and the end of Surah al-Baqarah (2).You will
not recite a letter of them without being given it.”[Muslim, Riyad
as-Salihin by Imam An-Nawawi]
Abu Umamah (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (Sallaho
Alaihe Wassallam) said “Read the two radiant ones Al-Baqarah
and Al-Imran for they will come on the Day of Resurrection like
two clouds, or two shades, or two flocks of birds, pleading for
their companions”[Muslim]
Al- Nawwas Ibn Sam’an (RA) reported that the Messenger of
Allah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) said “The Qur’an will be
brought on the Day of Resurrection, along with its companions
who used to act by it, at the front being Surah Al-Baqarah and Al-
65
Imran like two black clouds or canopies with light, or two flocks
of birds pleading for their companion‟[Muslim]
Abu Huraira (RA) said, “The Messenger of Allah (Sallaho Alaihe
Wassallam) put me in charge of guarding the zakat of Ramadan.
Someone came and began to take handfuls of food. I grabbed him
and said, “By Allah, I will take you to the Messenger of Allah!”
He said, “I am needy and have a large family and I am in dire
need. I let him go and in the morning the Prophet said, “Abu
Huraira, what did you do with your prisoner yesterday?” I said,
“Messenger of Allah, he complained of dire need and a large
family, so I showed mercy to him and let him go on his way.” He
said, “He lied to you and he will come back.” So, from the words
of the Messenger of Allah, I knew that he would come back.
Therefore, I lay in wait for him and he came and once more began
to take handfuls of food. I seized him and said, “I will take you to
the Messenger of Allah!” He said, “Let me go. I am in need and
have a large family. I will not come back again.‟ I had mercy on
him and let him go his way. In the morning the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to me,
“Abu Huraira, what did you do with your prisoner yesterday?” I
said, “Messenger of Allah, he complained of dire need and a large
family, so I showed mercy to him and let him go on his way. He
said, “He lied to you and he will come back.” So I lay in wait for
him a third time and he came and began to take handfuls of food. I
grabbed him and said, „I will take you to the Messenger of Allah!
This is the third time. You claimed you would not come back and
then you came back.” He said, “Let me go. I will teach you some
words which will help you with Allah.” I said, “What are they?”
He said, “When you go to bed, recite the Throne Verse, “Allah,
there is no god but Him, the Living, the Self-Sustaining…” to the
end of the ayat. You will have someone guarding over you from
Allah and shaitan will not come near you until morning.‟ So I let
him go his way. In the morning, the Messenger of Allah (Sallaho
Alaihe Wassallam) said to me, “What did you do with your
66
prisoner yesterday?‟ I said, „Messenger of Allah, he claimed that
he would teach me some words which would help me with Allah,
so I let him go his way.‟ He said, “What are they?‟ I said, „He
said to me, “When you go to bed, recite the Throne Verse to the
end: “Allah, there is no god but Him, the Living, the Self-
Sustaining”. He said to me, “You will have someone guarding
over you from Allah and shaitan will not come near you until
morning.” The Prophet (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) said, “He told
you the truth even though he is a liar. Do you know whom you
were speaking with on these three days, Abu Huraira?” He said,
“No.” The Prophet said, “It was Shaitan.”[Sahih al-Bukhari]
Surah al Imran (3)
Abdullah ibn Masud (RA) said, “What an excellent treasure Surah
al Imran is to the pauper when he recites it in prayer during the
last part of the night” [Darimi 3264/A]
The Prophet said, “Allah’s most Magnificent name, which when
used to implore Him, He responds, is found in three Surahs. Al
Baqara, Al Imran and Taha” [Hakim &Ibn Majah 3856]The
Prophet said to Muadh (RA), “Should I not teach you a
supplication which, when used to implore Allah, Allah shall pay
your debt, even it be as huge as Mount Uhud? He then mentioned
them (i.e. Surah Al Imran verse 26 & 27)‟[Tabarani inAl Saghir
1/330]
Makhul (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (Sallaho
Alaihe Wassallam) said, “If anyone recites Al Imran on a Friday,
the angels will invoke blessings on him till night comes.”[Darimi
transmitted it. Mishkat al-Masabih #2172]
Usman ibn Affan (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah
(Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) said, “If anyone recites the end of
Surah Al Imran at night, the reward for a night spent in prayer will
be recorded for him.”
Abu Umamah (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (Sallaho
Alaihe Wassallam) said “Read the two radiant ones al-Baqarah
and Al Imran for they will come on the Day of Resurrection like
67
two clouds, or two shades, or two flocks of birds, pleading for

brought on the Day of Resurrection, along with its companions
who used to act by it, at the front being Surah al-Baqarah and Al

69
happy are the tongues which utter this.[Darami transmitted it, at-
Tirmidhi]
Abu Umamah (RA) reported that the messenger of Allah (Sallaho
Alaihe Wassallam) said, “The greatest name of Allah, which if He
is called by it, He responds, is in three surahs: Al-Baqarah, Al -
Imran and Ta-Ha.” Hisham ibn Ammar, the Khateeb of
Damascus, said: “In Al-Baqarah, it is “Allah! There is no god but

Allah! There is no god but He, the Ever-Living, the One Who
sustains and protects all that exists” [Al-Imran, 3: 1-2]. And in Ta-
Ha it is “And (all) faces shall be humbled before (Allah), the
Ever -Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists”
[Ta-Ha, 20: 111]. [Narrated in amarfu report (one that is traced all
the way back to the Prophet [Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam], Tafsir of
Imam Ibn Kathir)]
Surah al Mu’minun (23)
Ibn Masud (RA) recited (Surah al Mu’minun from verse 115 to
118) in the ear of an afflicted person and the man was cured. The
Prophet said, “What did you recite in his ear?”. Ibn Masud told
him, and the Prophet (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) said, “By He in
Whose hand lies my soul, were a believing man to recite it over a
mountain, it would have melted”. [Fath al Qadir 3/502]
70
and said, “Record for him a good deed and raise him a degree in
place of every sin.”
Khalid (RA) also said, “It will dispute on behalf of the one who
recites it when he is in his grave saying, “O’ Allah, if I am part of
Thy Book, make me an intercessor for him. But if I am not a part
of Thy Book, blot me out of it.” It will be like a bird putting its
wing on him, it will intercede for him and will protect him from
the punishment in the grave.” He said the same about
Tabaarakalladhi (Surah Mulk). Khalid (RA) did not go to sleep at
night till he had recited them. Taus said that they were given sixty
virtues more than any other Surah in the Holy Qur’an.
