Riyad as-Salihin: Book 8, Hadith 29
Ubayy bin Ka’b (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Abu Mundhir! Do you know which Ayah in Allah’s Book is the greatest?” I replied: “It is ‘Allah la ilaha illa Huwal-Haiyul-Qayum (Allah! none has the right to be worshipped but He, the Ever Living…)’.” (2:256) Thereupon he (ﷺ) patted me in the chest and said, “Rejoice by this knowledge, O Abu Mundhir!”.
وعن أبي بن كعب رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :” يا أبا المنذر أتدري أي آية من كتاب الله معك أعظم ؟ قلت: الله لا إله إلا هو الحي القيوم، فضرب في صدري وقال :” ليهنك العلم أبا المنذر”. ((رواه مسلم )).
