Authentic Hadith of prophet Muhammad Hadith of the Noble Qur’an and its sciences 2 Abu Sa‘eed Raafi’ ibn Al-Mu‘alla, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, said to me: 'Shall I teach you the greatest Surah in the Qur’an before you leave the mosque?' Then he took me by the hand, and when we were about to leave, I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you said: 'I shall teach you the greatest Surah in the Qur’an.'' He said: 'It is 'Alhamdulillaahi Rabb-il-‘Aalamin.' (i.e. Surat-ul-Faatihah) It is "as-sab‘ al-mathaani" (the seven oft-repeated verses) and the Glorious Qur’an which was given to me.'" Sahih/Authentic. Hadith Grade: Abu Sa‘eed Raafi‘ ibn Al-Mu‘alla, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, said to me: 'Shall I'": He used this form of speech to alert the addressed person to what comes after it. "Shall I teach you the greatest Surah in the Qur’an before you leave the mosque": He said so instead of teaching him the Surah directly in order to prompt him to clear his mind to receive this information with wholehearted readiness. "Then he took me by the hand": i.e. after he had said that, and we walked on. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, you said: 'I shall teach you the greatest Surah in the Qur’an.'" He said: "It is Alhamdulillaahi Rabb-il-‘Aalamin" (i.e. Surat-ul-Faatihah): Al-Faatihah is the greatest Surah because it encompasses all the purposes of the Qur’an and hence is called "Umm-ul-Qur’an" or 'the Mother of the Qur’an'. Then he mentioned what distinguishes Al-Faatihah from the other Surahs, thus making it the greatest of them all, saying: "It is As-Sab‘ Al-Mathaani”. Mathaani is plural of "muthannah", meaning 'doubled', because it is recited twice in each rak‘ah (unit of prayer); or because it is followed by another Surah, so it is recited in a pair of Surahs; or because it includes two parts: praise and invocation; or because it includes eloquent meanings and skillful structure; or because it is repeated over the passage of time, so it will never cease to exist, and it is always taught, so it will never become extinct; or because its benefits are renewed with each state infinitely; or because it is derived from "thanaa" or 'praise' because it includes praise of Allah, the Almighty, as if praising Him with His beautiful Names and Attributes; or because it is derived from "thanaaya" because Allah has made it peculiar to this nation; and there are other possible meanings. "And the Glorious Qur’an": means that Al-Faatihah is also called 'the Glorious Qur’an' because it encompasses everything that is related to existence in this worldly life and in the afterlife as well as rulings and creeds
