CHAPTER: Fatihatil-Kitab (The Opening Of The Book).
Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Universe (1) is the epitome or basis of the Quran, the epitome or basis of the Book, and the seven oft-repeated verses.
Abu Saeed bin al-Mu'alla said that when he was praying the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم passed by him and he called him. He said: I prayed ant then I came to him. He asked: What prevented you from answering me ? He replied: I was praying. He said: Has not Allah said: O you who believe, respond to Allah and the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life ? (8: 24) Let me teach you the greatest surah from the Quran or in the Quran (the narrator Khalid doubted) before I leave the mosque. I said: (I shall memorize) your saying. He said: It is: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Universe which is the seven oft-repeated verses, and the mighty Quran.
