Sunan an-Nasai 913 (Book 11, Hadith 38) #15521
The Greatest Surah Taught by the Prophet

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught the greatest surah to Abu Sa'eed bin Al-Mu'alla when he was called while praying.

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed bin Al-Mu'alla that: The Prophet passed by him when he was praying, and called him. He said: "I finished praying, then I came to him, and he said: 'What kept you from answering me?' He said: 'I was praying'. He said: 'Does not Allah say: O you who believe! Answer Allah (by obeying Him) and (His) Messenger when he calls you to that which will give you life? Shall I not teach you the greatest surah before I leave the masjid?' Then he went to leave, and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what about what you said?' He said: "All praise and thanks be to Allah, Lord of all that exists. These are the seven oft-recited that I have been given, and the Grand Quran'."
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حَفْصَ بْنَ عَاصِمٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُعَلَّى، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَدَعَاهُ - قَالَ - فَصَلَّيْتُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُجِيبَنِي ‏"‏ قَالَ كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَلَمْ يَقُلِ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏{‏ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ ‏}‏ أَلاَ أُعَلِّمُكَ أَعْظَمَ سُورَةٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَذَهَبَ لِيَخْرُجَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَوْلَكَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ هِيَ السَّبْعُ الْمَثَانِي الَّذِي أُوتِيتُ وَالْقُرْآنُ الْعَظِيمُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how the Prophet Muhammad taught a man named Abu Sa’eed bin Al-Mu’alla the greatest surah in the Quran. It happened when Abu Sa’eed was praying and he was called by the Prophet. He did not answer right away because he was still praying and so Allah reminded him of a verse from His book that says “O you who believe! Answer Allah and His Messenger when He calls you to that which will give you life.” After this reminder, the Prophet then went on to teach him what is known as “the seven oft-recited verses” or “the Grand Quran.” This hadith teaches us that we should always obey Allah and His Messenger whenever they call us to do something good for our lives. We should also be mindful of our prayers and not let anything distract us from them even if it is something important like answering a call from someone we respect like our parents or teachers. Lastly, it reminds us of how important it is to learn about Islam through reading its holy book - The Quran - as this will bring us closer to Allah and help guide us in life.
