(Successful indeed are the believers) [23:1].
The judge Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn al-Hasan al-Hiri informed us by dictation> the chamberlain of Ahmad al-Tusi> Muhammad ibn Hammad al-Abiwardi> ‘Abd al-Razzaq> Yunus ibn Sulayman> Yunus al-Ayli by dictation> Ibn Shihab> ‘Urwah ibn al-Zubayr> ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘Abd al-Qari’ who said: “I heard ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab say: ‘When the revelation came to the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, one could hear at the level of his face buzzing like the buzzing of bees. Once, he remained in this state for a while and then turned toward the qiblah, raised his hands and said: ‘O Allah, give us more and do not take away from us; honour us and do not humiliate us; grant us and do not deprive us; prefer us and do not prefer anyone over us; make us pleased and be pleased with us’. Then he said: ‘Ten verses have just been revealed to me; whoever practises them will enter the Garden’. He then read: (Successful indeed are the believers) up to the tenth verse’ ”. This was narrated by al-Hakim Abu ‘Abd Allah in his Sahih from Abu Bakr al-Qati'i from ‘Abd Allah ibn Ahmad ibn Hanbal> Ahmad ibn Hanbal from ‘Abd al-Razzaq.
