Ibn ‘Abbas said that while Gabriel was sitting with the Prophet he heard a creaking sound above him, and after raising his head he said,“This is a gate opened in heaven to-day which has never been opened before.”Then when an angel descended through it he said,“This is an angel come down to earth who has never come down before.”He gave a salutation and said,“Rejoice in two lights brought to you which have not been brought to any prophet before you:Fātihat al-Kitāb (Qur’ān, 1) and the last verses of sūra al-Baqara (Qur’ān, 2). You will not recite a phrase of them without being given the blessing it contains.”Muslim transmitted it.
