Sahih al-Bukhari 4703 (Book 65, Hadith 225) #4486
The Most Superior Sura in the Qur'an

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught the importance of responding to Allah and His Apostle, and that Surat-al-Fatiha is the most superior Sura in the Qur'an.

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Mualla: While I was praying, the Prophet passed by and called me, but I did not go to him till I had finished my prayer. When I went to him, he said, "What prevented you from coming?" I said, "I was praying". He said, "Didn't Allah say" "O you who believes Give your response to Allah (by obeying Him) and to His Apostle". (8:24) Then he added, "Shall I tell you the most superior Sura in the Qur'an before I go out of the mosque?" When the Prophet intended to go out (of the Mosque), I reminded him and he said, "That is: "Al hamdu-li l-lahi Rabbil-'alamin (Surat-al-fatiha)' which is the seven oft repeated verses (Al-Mathani) and the Grand Qur'an which has been given to me".
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُعَلَّى، قَالَ مَرَّ بِيَ النَّبِيُّ وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي فَدَعَانِي فَلَمْ آتِهِ حَتَّى صَلَّيْتُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَلَمْ يَقُلِ اللَّهُ ‏{‏يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ‏}‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلاَ أُعَلِّمُكَ أَعْظَمَ سُورَةٍ فِي الْقُرْآنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ ‏"‏ فَذَهَبَ النَّبِيُّ لِيَخْرُجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَذَكَّرْتُهُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏‏{‏الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ‏}‏ هِيَ السَّبْعُ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنُ الْعَظِيمُ الَّذِي أُوتِيتُهُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Obey Allah & his messenger , Respond promptly when called upon by them , Recite 'Surah al Fatihi'.
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about responding to Allah and His Apostle. It also tells us that one of the most important chapters in the Quran is called ‘Surah Al Fatiha’ which means ‘The Opening’. This chapter consists of seven verses which are repeated often during prayer. It is also known as ‘Al Mathani’ or ‘The Repeated Verses’. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that this chapter was given to him by Allah, making it even more special than other chapters in the Quran. We should always remember to respond to Allah and His Apostle when they call us, just like Abu Sa’id Al Mualla did when he was praying.
