عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ أَتَدْرِي أَىُّ آيَةٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ مَعَكَ أَعْظَمُ " . قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ . قَالَ " يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ أَتَدْرِي أَىُّ آيَةٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ مَعَكَ أَعْظَمُ " . قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَىُّ الْقَيُّومُ . قَالَ فَضَرَبَ فِي صَدْرِي وَقَالَ " وَاللَّهِ لِيَهْنِكَ الْعِلْمُ أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ".
Ubayy ibn Kaʿb said: The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, ‘Abū al-Mundhir, do you know which verse of the Book of Allah that you have is the greatest?’ I said, ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He again said, ‘Abū al-Mundhir, do you know which verse of the Book of Allah that you have is the greatest?’ I said, ‘Allah—there is no god but Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer.’ He struck me on the chest and said, ‘By Allah, may knowledge bring you joy, Abū al-Mundhir!’
