Sunan Abi Dawud 788 (Book 2, Hadith 398) #21079
Revealed Words of Mercy

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) did not differentiate between two surahs until the words "In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful" were revealed to him.

Ibn Abbas said: The prophet did not distinguish between the two surahs until the words "In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the merciful" was revealed to him. These are the words of Ibn al-sarh.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، وَابْنُ السَّرْحِ، قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، - قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ فِيهِ - عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ لاَ يَعْرِفُ فَصْلَ السُّورَةِ حَتَّى تُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِ ‏{‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ ‏}‏ ‏.‏ وَهَذَا لَفْظُ ابْنِ السَّرْحِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about a revelation that was sent down to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It is said that before this revelation, he could not differentiate between two surahs. However, when these words “In the name of Allah, The Compassionate, The Merciful” were revealed to him, he was able to distinguish between them. This shows us how important it is for us to remember and recite these words as they are a reminder of God’s mercy and compassion towards us. We should also strive to be merciful and compassionate towards others in our daily lives as well.
