The Seven Repeated Verses
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The third question of Fatwa No. ( 5433 ):
Q3: I heard a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in which he said to a young man in the mosque: "I will teach you a word by which Allah will benefit you." When the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) finished his prayer, the young man said to him: "Did you not say: Teach me a word after you leave the mosque?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Yes, and it is the Opening of the Book: which is the Seven Repeated Verses ." Is this correct?
A3: The hadith is valid, and its text is: From Abu Sa'id ibn al-Ma'la (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: It was narrated by al-Bukhari and others. And success is from Allah. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

A3: The hadith is valid, and its text is: From Abu Sa'id ibn al-Ma'la (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
I was praying in the mosque when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called me, but I did not respond until I had finished my prayer, and then I went to him. He said: "What prevented you from coming?" I said: "O Messenger of Allah, I was praying." He said: "Did not Allah say: O you who believe, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which will give you life?" Then he said: "I will teach you a surah which is the greatest surah in the Qur'an before I leave." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) started to leave, so I said to him: "Did you not say: I will teach you a surah which is the greatest surah in the Qur'?" He said: The praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds. It is the Seven Repeated Verses and the great Qur'an which was given to me.
كنت أصلي في المسجد فدعاني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فلم أجبه، حتى صليت ثم أتيته، فقال: ما منعك أن تأتي؟ فقلت: يا رسول الله، إني كنت أصلي. فقال: ألم يقل الله: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ ، ثم قال: لأعلمنك سورة هي أعظم سورة في القرآن قبل أن أخرج، فذهب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ليخرج، فقلت له: ألم تقل: لأعلمنك سورة هي أعظم سورة في القرآن؟! قال: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ، هي السبع المثاني والقرآن العظيم الذي أوتيته
