Restricting oneself to a single verse after al-Fatihah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And how did we hear that we heard that Allah came to him, or rather, or rather, after al-Fatihah, in a single verse from Surat al-Rahman, such as His saying, "This is the one to whom repentance comes," and similar to that action.

Answer:
The scholars have stated that reciting a verse that does not stand alone in meaning is not sufficient. If the verse stands alone in meaning, there is no harm. However, if the verse does not stand alone in meaning, such as "dark green," why does it stand alone in meaning? Because there is a verse before it that relates to it:
(62) And below them both [in excellence] are two [other] gardens - (63) So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny? - (64) Dark green [in color].وَمِن دُونِهِمَا جَنَّتَانِ فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ مُدْهَامَّتَانِ
[Ar-Rahman 55:62-64]
This is a description of the two gardens, and if he brings the description and leaves out the noun, the meaning is not complete. They also mentioned His saying, "Then He looked," from Surat al-Muddaththir. If one were to stop at that, it would not suffice, because it does not stand alone in meaning; it is connected to what comes before it. But if the verse stands alone in meaning, there is no harm in stopping at it. Yes, if the verse is long, such as the Verse of the Throne or the Verse of Debt, and it is a long verse and one stops at it, there is no harm, and it stands alone in meaning. Yes.
