حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ حَفْصَ بْنَ عَاصِمٍيُ حَدِّثُ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُعَلَّى، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَدَعَاهُ، قَالَ: فَصَلَّيْتُ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُجِيبَنِي ؟ ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي، قَالَ: أَلَمْ يَقُلِ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ سورة الأنفال آية 24، لَأُعَلِّمَنَّكَ أَعْظَمَ سُورَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، أَوْ فِي الْقُرْآنِ شَكَّ خَالِدٌ، قَبْلَ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَوْلُكَ، قَالَ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ سورة الفاتحة آية 2هِيَ السَّبْعُ الْمَثَانِي الَّتِي أُوتِيتُ وَالْقُرْآنُ الْعَظِيمُ .

When he was praying the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم passed by him and he called him. He said: I prayed ant then I came to him. He asked: What prevented you from answering me ? He replied: I was praying. He said: Has not Allah said: O you who believe, respond to Allah and the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life ? (8: 24) Let me teach you the greatest surah from the Quran or in the Quran (the narrator Khalid doubted) before I leave the mosque. I said: (I shall memorize) your saying. He said: It is: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Universe which is the seven oft-repeated verses, and the mighty Quran.
