A man asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), "Which Surah in the Qur’an is the greatest?" He said: "Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad (Surah Al-Ikhlas)." The man asked, "Which verse is the greatest?" He replied: "Ayat al-Kursi." The man then asked, "Which verse do you love to be granted for you and your Ummah?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The last verses of Surah Al-Baqarah, for they are from the treasures of Allah’s mercy under His Throne, given to this Ummah—they encompass every good of this world and the Hereafter."

Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Recite the Qur’an, for it will intercede for its companions on the Day of Judgment. Recite the ‘two radiant ones’—Al-Baqarah and Al-Imran—for they will come like two clouds or two shades or flocks of birds, arguing on behalf of their reciters. Recite Al-Baqarah, for taking it up is a blessing, abandoning it is a regret, and the sorcerers cannot overcome it."

Khalid ibn Ma’dan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Recite the Munjiah (Surah As-Sajdah), for I heard that a man who recited nothing else—despite his many sins—had it spread its wings over him and say, ‘O Lord, forgive him, for he often recited me.’ Allah accepted its intercession, saying, ‘Record a good deed for every sin and raise him a degree.’ It also pleads for its reciter in the grave, saying, ‘If I am from Your Book, accept my intercession; if not, erase me for him.’ It will be like a bird shielding him from the punishment of the grave. The same applies to Tabarak (Surah Al-Mulk)." Tawus said: "These two Surahs are superior to all others by sixty good deeds."

ف: اس حدیث شریف میں سورۃ یٰسین کو قرآن کا دل کہا گیا ہے۔ اس بارے میں بھی امام نسفی رحمہ اللہ علیہ فرماتے ہیں کہ سورۃ یٰسین میں اصول ثلاثہ یعنی وحدانیت باری تعالیٰ، رسالت اور حشر کا بیان ہے اور ان تینوں چیزوں کا تعلق قلب سے ہے۔ اسی وجہ سے سورہ یٰسین کو قرآن کا قلب قرار دیا گیا۔ اور امام غزالی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ نے فرمایا ہے کہ ایمان کی صحت کا انحصار حشر و نشر کے یقین اور ان کے استحضار پر ہے اور ان کی تفصیل سورہ یٰسین میں تمام و کمال مذکور ہے اسی وجہ سے اس کو قرآن کا دل کہا گیا ہے اور امام رازی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ نے بھی اس قول کو احسن قرار دیا ہے، اس لئے کہ سورہ یٰسین کی تلاوت سے مردہ قلوب زندہ ہو جاتے ہیں اور غفلت سے چونک کر طاعات کی طرف راغب ہوتے ہیں۔ اور اسی وجہ سے قریب المرگ کے پاس اس کی تلاوت کی ترغیب وارد ہے۔ یہ مرقات میں مذکور ہے۔

ف: اس حدیث شریف میں ارشاد ہے کہ سورہ یٰسین کو اخلاص سے پڑھنے سے گناہ معاف ہو جاتے ہیں اور قریب المرگ شخص کے پاس اگر سورہ یٰسین پڑھا جائے تو وہ اس کو سنے گا اور اس کا دل متاثر ہوگا اور اس کے گناہ بھی معاف ہوں گے۔ یہ مرقات میں مذکور ہے۔ صاحب مرقات نے فرمایا ہے کہ چونکہ سورہ یٰسین کی تلاوت گناہوں کی مغفرت کا سبب ہے اس لئے قبروں کے پاس بھی اس کو پڑھنا چاہئے۔

ف: اس حدیث شریف میں سورہ بقرہ کو سنام القرآن (قرآن کی بلندی) اس لئے قرار دیا گیا ہے کہ یہ طویل سورت ہے اور اس میں بہت سارے احکام مذکور ہیں اور اس میں جہاد کا جو حکم موجود ہے اس کی وجہ سے اسلام کو بلندی حاصل ہوتی ہے۔ علاوہ ازیں مفصلات کو لُباب القرآن اس لئے کہا گیا کہ ان سورتوں میں ان چیزوں کو تفصیل سے بیان کیا گیا ہے۔ جو قرآن کے دوسرے حصہ میں اجمال کے ساتھ مذکور ہیں۔ اور سورۂ حجرات (پ،26) سے لے کر آخر قرآن تک کی تمام سورتوں کو مفصل کہتے ہیں۔ یہ پورا مضمون مرقات سے ماخوذ ہے۔

ف: اس حدیث شریف میں سورت ”سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلٰى“ کو محبوب رکھنے کا جو ذکر ہے اس کی وجہ یہ ہے کہ اس سورت میں ارشاد ہے: ”إِنَّ هٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولٰى ، صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسٰى“ یہ مضامین یعنی دنیا کی بے ثباتی اور آخرت کی پائیداری، فرمان برداری کی کامیابی وغیرہ جو اس سورت میں بیان کئے گئے ہیں۔ اگلے صحیفوں میں بھی مذکور ہے جیسے حضرت ابراہیم اور حضرت موسیٰ علی نبینا وعلیہما الصلوٰۃ والسلام کے صحیفوں میں تو گویا سابقہ صحیفوں میں قرآن کی حقانیت کی تصدیق ہوتی ہے اور اسی وجہ سے یہ سورت حضور صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو بہت محبوب تھی کہ حضور صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اس سورت کو وتر کی پہلی رکعت میں ”سورہ قُلْ“ کو باقی دو رکعتوں میں پڑھا کرتے تھے۔ یہ مرقات سے ماخوذ ہے۔
