أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ ، قَالَ : " قَعَدْنَا نَفَرٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَتَذَاكَرْنَا، فَقُلْنَا :لَوْ نَعْلَمُ أَيَّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى، لَعَمِلْنَاهُ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : # سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ سورة الحشر آية 1 # حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا ".
قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا، قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ : فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْنَا ابْنُ سَلَامٍ.
قَالَ يَحْيَى : فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، وَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْنَا يَحْيَى وَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، وَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْنَا مُحَمَّدٌ

Muhammad bin Kathir informed us, on the authority of Al-Awza’i, on the authority of Yahya bin Abi Kathir, on the authority of Abu Salamah, on the authority of Abdullah bin Salam, he said: “ A group of the Companions of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, sat down and we remembered, so we said: If only we knew which deeds are most beloved to God Almighty, We would have done it, so God Almighty revealed: #Glory be to God whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and He is the Mighty, the Wise Surah Al-Hashr, Verse 1 #until He sealed it.”
Abdullah said: Then the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, read it to us until he sealed it. Abu Salamah said: Then Ibn Salam read it to us.
Yahya said: So Abu Salamah recited it to us, and Yahya recited it to us, and Al-Awza’i recited it to us, and Muhammad recited it to us.
