The reciter: Isma'il ibn Mansur narrated to us, saying: Yazid ibn 'Abd Rabb narrated to us, saying: Al-Walid ibn Muslim narrated to us from Muhammad ibn Mihajir from Al-Walid ibn 'Abd al-Rahman al-Jurashi from Jabir ibn Nu'ayr, who said: I heard al-Nu'man ibn Sam'an al-Kilabi say: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say:
On the Day of Resurrection the Qur'an and those who acted according to it will be brought with Surah al-Baqara and AI 'Imran preceding them. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) likened them to three things, which I did not forget afterwards. He (the Holy Prophet) likened them to two clouds, or two black canopies with light between them, or like two flocks of birds in ranks pleading for one who recited them.
يؤتى بالقرآن يوم القيامة وأهله الذين كانوا يعملون به تقدمه سورة البقرة وآل عمران وضرب لهما رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ثلاثة أمثال ما نسيتهن بعد قال: كأنهما غمامتان أو ظلتان سوداوان بينهما شرق أو كأنهما حزقان من طير صواف تحاجان عن صاحبهما .
