The Hadith (only for reading)

Sahih Muslim records on the authority of Ibn Abbas (radiy Allahu ‘anhu)
who said,
“While the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) was sitting
with Jibril he heard a creaking sound above him. Jibril looked up and said,
“This is [the sound of] a gate that has been opened in heaven today
and has never been previously opened.” Then an Angel descended
through it and came to the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and said,
‘Rejoice in the good news of two lights that have been given to you such
as no prophet before you has been given. [They are] Surah Al-Fatihah
and the concluding [two] verses of Surah Al-Baqarah.
You will never recite a word from them without being given the blessings
they contain.’ “
