Musnad Ahmad 1297 (Book 5, Hadith 701) #34927
Reciting Surah at-Tawbah

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sent Abu Bakr and Ali to recite the verses of Surah at-Tawbah to the people of Makkah.

It was narrated that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: When the ten verses of Bara'ah (Surah at-Tawbah) were revealed to the Prophet ﷺ, he called Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه) and sent him to recite them to the people of Makkah. Then the Prophet ﷺ called me and said to me: 'Catch up with Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه) and wherever you meet him, take the document from him and take it to the people of Makkah and read it to them'. I caught up with him at al-Juhfah and took the letter from him. Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه) went back to the Prophet ﷺ and said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, has something been revealed concerning me? He said: 'No, but Jibreel came to me and said: No one should do this for you except you or a man of your family'.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، لُوَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ حَنَشٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ عَشْرُ آيَاتٍ مِنْ بَرَاءَةٌ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ دَعَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَبَعَثَهُ بِهَا لِيَقْرَأَهَا عَلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ ثُمَّ دَعَانِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي أَدْرِكْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَحَيْثُمَا لَحِقْتَهُ فَخُذْ الْكِتَابَ مِنْهُ فَاذْهَبْ بِهِ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَاقْرَأْهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَحِقْتُهُ بِالْجُحْفَةِ فَأَخَذْتُ الْكِتَابَ مِنْهُ وَرَجَعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَزَلَ فِيَّ شَيْءٌ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ جَاءَنِي فَقَالَ لَنْ يُؤَدِّيَ عَنْكَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَوْ رَجُلٌ مِنْكَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how the Prophet Muhammad PBUH sent Abu Bakr and Ali to recite the verses of Surah at-Tawbah, which is a chapter in the Quran, to the people of Makkah. When they were about to leave, Jibril came down from Heaven and told him that no one should do this for him except himself or someone from his family. Therefore, he called Ali back and asked him to take over this mission instead. This hadith teaches us that it is important for us as Muslims to spread knowledge about our religion by reciting verses from Quran and teaching others what we know so that everyone can benefit from it. It also shows us how much respect Allah has for His prophets by sending down an angel specifically for them when they are on a mission like this one. Lastly, it teaches us that family ties are important in Islam as well as respecting each other’s roles within our families.
