Sunan Abi Dawud 887
Book 2: Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat)
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When one of you recites “By the fig and the olive” (Surah 95) and comes to its end “Is not Allah the best judge?” (verse 8), he should say: “Certainly, and I am one of those who testify to that.” When one recites “I swear by the Day of Resurrection” (Surah 75) and comes to “Is not that one able to raise the dead to life? (verse 40), he should say: “Certainly.” And when one recites “By those that are sent” (Surah 77), and comes to “Then in what message after that will they believe? ” (Surah 50), he should say: “We believe in Allah.”
The narrator Isma’il (ibn Umayyah) said: I beg to repeat (this tradition) before the Bedouin (who reported this tradition) so that I might see whether he (was mistaken).
He said: My nephew, do you think that I did not remember it? I performed sixty hajj (pilgrimages); there is no hajj but I recognize the came on which I performed it.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ، سَمِعْتُ أَعْرَابِيًّا، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” مَنْ قَرَأَ مِنْكُمْ [quran sura=”95″ aya_start=”1″ aya_end=”1″]{ وَالتِّينِ وَالزَّيْتُونِ } فَانْتَهَى إِلَى آخِرِهَا [quran sura=”95″ aya_start=”8″ aya_end=”8″]{ أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ الْحَاكِمِينَ } فَلْيَقُلْ بَلَى وَأَنَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ وَمَنْ قَرَأَ [quran sura=”75″ aya_start=”1″ aya_end=”40″]{ لاَ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ } فَانْتَهَى إِلَى [quran sura=”75″ aya_start=”40″ aya_end=”40″]{ أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَنْ يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى } فَلْيَقُلْ بَلَى وَمَنْ قَرَأَ [quran sura=”77″ aya_start=”1″ aya_end=”1″]{ وَالْمُرْسَلاَتِ } فَبَلَغَ [quran sura=”77″ aya_start=”50″ aya_end=”50″]{ فَبِأَىِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ } فَلْيَقُلْ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ ” . قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ ذَهَبْتُ أُعِيدُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ الأَعْرَابِيِّ وَأَنْظُرُ لَعَلَّهُ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي أَتَظُنُّ أَنِّي لَمْ أَحْفَظْهُ لَقَدْ حَجَجْتُ سِتِّينَ حَجَّةً مَا مِنْهَا حَجَّةٌ إِلاَّ وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُ الْبَعِيرَ الَّذِي حَجَجْتُ عَلَيْهِ .
