ahmad:20588Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > ʿUthmān b. Ghiyāth > Abū al-Salīl

[Machine] There was a man among the companions of the Prophet ﷺ who used to speak to the people until they became tired of him. So he climbed up the back of a house and started speaking to the people. He said, "What is the greatest verse in the Quran?" A man said, "{Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence}" [Quran 2:255]. The man placed his hand between his shoulders and said, "Ifound its coolness between my chest and my back." He said, "May you be blessed, O Abu Al-Mundhir, the knowledge, the knowledge."

كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يُكْثَرَ عَلَيْهِ فَيَصْعَدَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتٍ فَيُحَدِّثَ النَّاسَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَيُّ آيَةٍ فِي الْقُرْآنِ أَعْظَمُ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ {اللهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ} [البقرة 255] قَالَ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيَّ قَالَ فَوَجَدْتُ بَرْدَهَا بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيَّ أَوْ قَالَ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيَّ فَوَجَدْتُ بَرْدَهَا بَيْنَ كَتِفَيَّ قَالَ يَهْنِكَ يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ الْعِلْمَ الْعِلْمَ
