Sahih al-Bukhari 4273 (Book 65, Hadith 1)
said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I was praying.” He said, “Didn’t Allah say’–“Give your response to Allah
(by obeying Him) and to His Apostle when he calls you.” (8.24)
He then said to me, “I will teach you a Sura which is the greatest Sura in the Qur’an, before you leave
the Mosque.” Then he got hold of my hand, and when he intended to leave (the Mosque), I said to
him, “Didn’t you say to me, ‘I will teach you a Sura which is the greatest Sura in the Qur’an?’ He said,
“Al-Hamdu-Li l-lah Rabbi-l-`alamin (i.e. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds) which is Al-Sab’a
Al-Mathani (i.e. seven repeatedly recited Verses) and the Grand Qur’an which has been given to me.”
