Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

Suratul – Fatihah

Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that when ALLAAH’s Messenger once asked Ubayy bin Ka’b how he recited in the course of the Salaah and he recited Ummul Holy QURAAN (Suratul - Fatiha). He said, By Him in whose hand my soul is nothing like it has been sent down in the TORAH, the ENJEEL, the ZABUR or the Holy QURAAN and it is seven of the off repeated ayats and the mighty Holy QURAAN which I have been given. [Mishkat]

Hadrat lbn Abbas (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that while Jibraeel  was sitting with the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) he heard a sound above him and after raising his head said, “This is an angel who has descended on earth today, who had never descended before.” The angel came and gave a salutation and said, Rejoice in two lights brought to you: which have not been brought to any prophet before you: Fatihatul-kitab and the last ayat of surah al-Baqara (ii). You will not recite a phrase of them without being given the blessing it contains.” [Mishkat]
