darimi:3423Abū al-Mughīrah > Ṣafwān > Ayfaʿ b. ʿAbd al-Kalāʿī

[Machine] A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, which Surah of the Qur'an is the greatest?" He said, "Say: He is Allah, the One." He said, "Which verse in the Qur'an is the greatest?" He said, "The Throne Verse: Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence." [2:255] He said, "O Prophet of Allah, which verse do you love for it to afflict you and your nation?" He said, "The final verses of Surah Al-Baqarah, for indeed they are from the treasures of the mercy of Allah, and He has given them to this nation. There is no good in this world or the Hereafter that is not included in them."  

الدارمي:٣٤٢٣حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ حَدَّثَنِي أَيْفَعُ بْنُ عَبْدٍ الْكَلَاعِيُّ قَالَ قَالَ

رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ سُورَةِ الْقُرْآنِ أَعْظَمُ؟ قَالَ «قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ» قَالَ فَأَيُّ آيَةٍ فِي الْقُرْآنِ أَعْظَمُ؟ قَالَ آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ {اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ} [البقرة 255] قَالَ فَأَيُّ آيَةٍ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ تُحِبُّ أَنْ تُصِيبَكَ وَأُمَّتَكَ؟ قَالَ «خَاتِمَةُ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ خَزَائِنِ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ مِنْ تَحْتِ عَرْشِهِ أَعْطَاهَا هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ لَمْ تَتْرُكْ خَيْرًا مِنْ خَيْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا اشْتَمَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ»
