حَدَّثَنَا يَعْمَرُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي هِلَالُ بْنُ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ، أَنَّ عَطَاءَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ،، ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَلَامٍ، حَدَّثَهُ أَوْ قَالَ (١) : حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ، قَالَ: تَذَاكَرْنَا بَيْنَنَا، قُلْنَا: أَيُّكُمْ يَأْتِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَيَسْأَلَهُ: أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ؟ وَهِبْنَا أَنْ يَقُومَ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ، فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْنَا رَجُلًا رَجُلًا حَتَّى جَمَعَنَا فَجَعَلَ بَعْضُنَا يُشِيرُ إِلَى بَعْضٍ، " فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ {سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: {كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِنْدَ اللهِ} [غافر: ٣٥] قَالَ: فَتَلَاهَا مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا إِلَى آخِرِهَا " قَالَ: " فَتَلَاهَا عَلَيْنَا ابْنُ سَلَامٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا إِلَى آخِرِهَا "، قَالَ: " فَتَلَاهَا عَلَيْنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا إِلَى آخِرِهَا "، قَالَ يَحْيَى: " فَتَلَاهَا عَلَيْنَا هِلَالٌ مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا إِلَى آخِرِهَا "، قَالَ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ: " فَتَلَاهَا عَلَيْنَا يَحْيَى مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا إِلَى آخِرِهَا " (٢)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were discussing among ourselves as to which one of us would go to the service of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and ask: "Which deed is the most beloved to Allah?" But due to the awe of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), none of us stood up. So the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) sent a messenger and gathered all of us to him one by one, and recited the entire Surah As-Saff before us. This recitation was continued by all the narrators to their students.
