[Machine] Some of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "If we were to send someone to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to ask him about the most beloved deeds to Allah, none of us would go, so we decided to ask him about that." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then called those men one by one until he gathered them, and then this Surah (Chapter) was revealed to them: "Glorify the name of your Lord" (Surah al-Inshirah). Abdullah ibn Salam recited the entire Surah to us as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had recited it to him. Abu Salamah also recited the entire Surah to us as Abdullah ibn Salam had recited it to him. Yahya ibn Abi Kathir also recited the entire Surah to us as Abu Salamah had recited it to him. Al-Awza'i also recited the entire Surah to us as Yahya had recited it to him. Al-Abbas said, "My father recited the entire Surah to us as Al-Awza'i had recited it to him."
