Elequence of Al-Fatiha

Muslim recorded in his Sahih, and An-Nasa’i in his Sunan that Ibn `Abbas said: “While Jibril (Gabriel) was with the Messenger of Allah , he heard a noise from above. Jibril lifted his sight to the sky and said, `This is a door in heaven being open, and it has never been opened before now.’ An angel descended from that door and came to the Prophet and said, `Receive the glad tidings of two lights that you have been given, which no other Prophet before you was given: the Opening of the Book and the last (three) Ayat of Surat Al-Baqarah. You will not read a letter of them, but will gain its benefit.”’ An-Nasa’i (Al-Kubra 5:12) and Muslim recorded similar wording (1:554).
