[Machine] A man recited Surat Al-Fath to Abdullah bin Abbas, until he reached the verse: "Like a fertile plant, it sends forth its shoots, then it becomes strong, and firmly stands on its stem, pleasing the farmers, that He may enrage the disbelievers by them" (Quran 48:29). He said, "May Allah enrage the disbelievers by the Prophet and his companions." Then Abdullah bin Abbas said, "You are the plantation, and its harvest is approaching." Ash-Shafi'i said and said to his nation, "You were the best nation brought forth for the people" (Quran 3:110). Allah favored them with the two Qur'ans from His nation, unlike any other nation of the prophets before them.  

قَرَأَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ سُورَةَ الْفَتْحِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ {كَزَرْعٍ أَخْرَجَ شَطْأَهُ فَآزَرَهُ فَاسْتَغْلَظَ فَاسْتَوَى عَلَى سُوقِهِ يُعْجِبُ الزُّرَّاعَ لِيَغِيظَ بِهِمُ الْكُفَّارَ} [الفتح 29] قَالَ لِيَغِيظَ اللهُ بِالنَّبِيِّ وَأَصْحَابِهِ الْكُفَّارَ ثُمَّ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ أَنْتُمُ الزَّرْعُ وَقَدْ دَنَا حَصَادُهُ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَقَالَ لِأُمَّتِهِ {كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ} [آل عمران 110] الْآيَةَ فَفَضَّلَهُمْ بِكَيْنُونَتِهِمْ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ دُونَ أُمَمِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ قَبْلَهُ
