فضائل سورة الفاتحة - Virtues of Surat Al Fatiha

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عنه سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: «قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: قَسَمْتُ الصَّلَاةَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِي نِصْفَيْنِ، وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ، فَإِذَا قَالَ الْعَبْدُ: {الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ}، قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: حَمِدَنِي عَبْدِي، وَإِذَا قَالَ: {الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ}، قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: أَثْنَى عَلَيَّ عَبْدِي، وَإِذَا قَالَ: {مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ}، قَالَ: مَجَّدَنِي عَبْدِي، -وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: فَوَّضَ إِلَيَّ عَبْدِي-، فَإِذَا قَالَ: {إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ}، قَالَ: هَذَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِي وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ، فَإِذَا قَالَ: {اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ، صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلا الضَّالِّينَ}، قَالَ: هَذَا لِعَبْدِي وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ».  [صحيح] - [رواه مسلم].

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Allah Almighty said: I have divided prayer between Myself and My servant into two halves, and My servant shall have what he has asked for, When the servant says: {[All] Praise is [due] to Allah, the Lord of the worlds}, Allah Almighty says: My servant has praised Me, And when he says: {The Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful}, Allah Almighty says: My servant has extolled Me, And when he says: {Sovereign of the Day of Recompense}, Allah Almighty says: My servant has glorified Me -And He says in another time: My servant entrusted his affairs to Me- And when he says: {It is You we worship, and You we ask for help}, He says: This is between Me and My servant, and My servant shall have what he has asked for, And when he says: {Guide us to the straight path, the path of those whom You have blessed; not of those who have evoked [Your] anger, or of those who are astray}, He says: 'This is for My servant, and My servant shall have what he has asked for."  [Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by Muslim].

عن أُبيّ بن كعب قال: قال الله: "يا ابن آدم أنزلت عليك سبع آيات ثلاث منهن لي، وثلاث منهن لك، وواحدة بيني وبينك، {الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ، مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ}، هذه لله، {إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ} هذه بين الله وابن آدم، {اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ المُسْتَقِيمَ، صِرَاطَ الذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ}. هذه لابن آدم".

On the authority of Ubayy ibn Ka’b he said: God said: “O son of Adam, I have revealed to you seven verses, three of them are for Me, and three of them are for you, and one is between Me and you: {[All] Praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful, Sovereign of the Day of Recompense} This is for Allah, {It is You we worship, and You we ask for help}, This is between Allah and the son of Adam, {Guide us to the straight path, the path of those upon whom You have blessed, not of those who have evoked [Your] anger, or of those who are astray}. This is for the son of Adam.”.
