Hadith 1.1
The Excellent Qualities of the Qur'an
An-Nawwās b. Sam'ān said he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say, “On the day of resurrection the Qur’ān and those who acted according to it will be brought with <i>sūra al-Baqara</i> and <i>Āl ‘Imran</i> preceding them* like two black clouds or canopies with light between them, or as though they were two flocks of birds in ranks pleading for the one who recited them.” * <i>Mirqāt</i> says the pronoun may refer either to the people <i>ahl</i> mentioned, or to the Qur’ān, One may therefore read here either ‘them’ or 'it.' Muslim transmitted it.
وَعَن النواس بن سمْعَان قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «يُؤْتَى بِالْقُرْآنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَأَهْلِهِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ بِهِ تَقْدُمُهُ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ وَآلُ عِمْرَانَ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ ظُلَّتَانِ سَوْدَاوَانِ بَيْنَهُمَا شَرْقٌ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافَّ تحاجان عَن صَاحبهمَا» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
