The two unique lights given to the Prophet ﷺ: Surat al-Fatihah and the last two ayat of Surat al-Baqarah
While Jibril was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ, he heard a creaking sound from above him, so he raised his head and said, "This is a gate of heaven that has been opened today; it has never been opened before today." Then an angel descended from it, and he said, "This is an angel who has descended to the earth; he has never descended before today." He greeted him and said, "Rejoice in two lights that you have been given, which no prophet before you was given: the Opening of the Book and the closing verses of Surat al-Baqarah. You will never recite a single letter from them except that you will be given it."
بَيْنَمَا جِبْرِيلُ قَاعِدٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، سَمِعَ نَقِيضًا مِنْ فَوْقِهِ، فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ: هَذَا بَابٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فُتِحَ الْيَوْمَ، لَمْ يُفْتَحْ قَطُّ إِلاَّ الْيَوْمَ، فَنَزَلَ مِنْهُ مَلَكٌ، فَقَالَ: هَذَا مَلَكٌ نَزَلَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، لَمْ يَنْزِلْ قَطُّ إِلاَّ الْيَوْمَ، فَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ: أَبْشِرْ بِنُورَيْنِ أُوتِيتَهُمَا، لَمْ يُؤْتَهُمَا نَبِيٌّ قَبْلَكَ: فَاتِحَةُ الْكِتَابِ وَخَوَاتِيمُ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ، لَنْ تَقْرَأَ بِحَرْفٍ مِنْهُمَا إِلاَّ أُعْطِيتَهُ.
