\nNarrated Abu Sa`id bin Al-Mu'alla:\n \n\nWhile I was praying, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) passed me and called me, but I did not go to him until I had \nfinished the prayer. Then I went to him, and he said, "What prevented you from coming to me? Didn't \nAllah say:-- "O you who believe! Answer the call of Allah (by obeying Him) and His Apostle when \nHe calls you?" He then said, "I will inform you of the greatest Sura in the Qur'an before I leave (the \nmosque)." When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got ready to leave (the mosque), I reminded him. He said, "It is: \n'Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.' (i.e. Surat-al-Fatiha) As-sab'a Al-Mathani (the seven \nrepeatedly recited Verses).\n
