عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رضي الله عنهما قَالَ: «بَيْنَمَا جِبْرِيلُ قَاعِدٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعَ نَقِيضًا مِنْ فَوْقِهِ، فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَقَالَ: هَذَا بَابٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فُتِحَ الْيَوْمَ لَمْ يُفْتَحْ قَطُّ إِلَّا الْيَوْمَ، فَنَزَلَ مِنْهُ مَلَكٌ، فَقَالَ: هَذَا مَلَكٌ نَزَلَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ قَطُّ إِلَّا الْيَوْمَ، فَسَلَّمَ، وَقَالَ: أَبْشِرْ بِنُورَيْنِ أُوتِيتَهُمَا لَمْ يُؤْتَهُمَا نَبِيٌّ قَبْلَكَ: فَاتِحَةُ الْكِتَابِ، وَخَوَاتِيمُ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ، لَنْ تَقْرَأَ بِحَرْفٍ مِنْهُمَا إِلَّا أُعْطِيتَهُ».
Imepokelewa kutoka kwa bin Abbas -radhi za Mwenyezi Mungu ziwe juu yao- amesema: "Pindi Jibrili alipokuwa amekaa kwa Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake alisikia kishindo kutoka juu yake, akanyanyua kichwa chake, akasema: "Huu ni mlango kutoka Mbinguni umefunguliwa leo haukuwahi kufunguliwa kabisa isipokuwa leo, kisha akateremka kutoka kwenye mlango ule Malaika, akasema: "Huyu ni Malaika ameteremka Ardhini hakupata kuteremka kabisa isipokuwa leo, akawasalimia, kisha akasema: "Pokea habari njema ya kupewa Nuru mbili hakupewa Nabii yeyote kabla yako: Ufunguzi wa kitabu (Alfatiha) na Aya za mwisho katika Suratul-baqarah, hautasoma herufi miongoni mwa Sura hizo mbili isipokuwa utapewa (unacho hitaji)"
Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported: "As Gabriel (Jibrīl) was sitting with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), he heard a creak from above. So, he raised his head and said: That is a gate in the heavens that was opened today; it has never been opened except today. An angel descended from it. He said: That is an angel that descended to earth; he has never descended except today. He gave the greeting of peace and said: Have glad tidings with two lights that have been given to you, which no prophet before you has been given: Surat al-Fātihah and the concluding verses of Surat al-Baqarah. You will not read one letter of them except that you will be given it."
