Hadith 282

Sahih Bukhari

Book 65: Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an (Tafseer of the Prophet (pbuh))

Chapter 1

What has been said about Fãtihat al-Kitab (i.e., the Opening of the Book)

باب مَا جَاءَ فِي فَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ

It is also called Umm-ul-Kitab (i.e., the Mother of the Book), because it is the first Surah that has been written in the copies of the Quran, and it is also the first Surah to be recited in Salat (prayer).
وَسُمِّيَتْ أُمَّ الْكِتَابِ أَنَّهُ يُبْدَأُ بِكِتَابَتِهَا فِي الْمَصَاحِفِ، وَيُبْدَأُ بِقِرَاءَتِهَا فِي الصَّلاَةِ. وَالدِّينُ الْجَزَاءُ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ، كَمَا تَدِينُ تُدَانُ. وَقَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ: بِالدِّينِ بِالْحِسَابِ. {مَدِينِينَ} مُحَاسَبِينَ.
Sahih al-Bukhari 4760
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ‏.‏ أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ يُحْشَرُ الْكَافِرُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ ‏ ‏‏.‏ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ بَلَى وَعِزَّةِ رَبِّنَا‏.‏
"‏ أَلَيْسَ الَّذِي أَمْشَاهُ عَلَى الرِّجْلَيْنِ فِي الدُّنْيَا قَادِرًا عَلَى أَنْ يُمْشِيَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ‏"
Anas bin Malik:

A man said, "O Allah's Prophet! Will Allah gather the non-believers on their faces on the Day of Resurrection?" He said, "Will not the One Who made him walk on his feet in this world, be able to make him walk on his face on the Day of Resurrection?" (Qatada, a subnarrator, said: Yes, By the Power of Our Lord!)
