AYATUL KURSI by ANWAR AL AWLAKI

BismiLlahi Rrahmanni Rraheim
Assalaam Alaykoum Wa RahmatuLlahi wabarakatuh.
Praise be to Allaah.

Imaam Ibn Katheer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in his Tafseer of Aayat al-Kursiy from Soorat al-Baqarah:

This is Aayat al-Kursiy, which has a high status. It was reported in a saheeh hadeeth from the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that it is the greatest aayah in the Book of Allaah It was narrated from Ubayy, i.e., Ubayy ibn Kab that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked him which aayah in the Book of Allaah was the greatest. He said, Allaah and His Messenger know best. He repeated it several times, then he said, Aayat al-Kursiy. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, Congratulations upon your knowledge O Abul-Mundhir. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, it has a tongue and two lips, and it glorifies the Sovereign (i.e., Allaah) at the foot of the Throne. This was also narrated by Muslim, without the phrase By the One in Whose hand is my soul.

It was narrated from Abd-Allaah ibn Ubayy ibn Kab that his father told him that he had a vessel in which he kept dates. He used to check on it and found that the number was decreasing. So he kept guard on it one night and saw a beast that looked like an adolescent boy. He said: I greeted him with salaams and he returned my greeting, then I asked him, What are you, a jinn or a human? He said, A jinn. I said to him, Show me your hand. So he showed me his hand, and it looked like a dogs paw with dogs fur. I said, Do all the jinn look like this? He said, I know no one among the jinn who is stronger than I. I said, What made you do what you did [i.e., taking the dates]? He said, We heard that you are a man who loves charity, and we wanted to have some of your food. Ubayy asked him, What will protect us from you? He said, This aayah, Aayat al-Kursiy. Then the next day he [Ubayy] went to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and told him (about what had happened) and he said, The evil one spoke the truth.
It was narrated from Ibn Umar that Umar ibn al-Khattaab went out one day to some people who had prepared a meal. He said, Who among you can tell me which is the greatest aayah in the Quraan? Ibn Masood said, You are asking one who knows. I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say, The greatest aayah in the Quraan is Allaah! Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists [al-Baraqah 2:255 interpretation of the meaning].
Concerning the virtue of reciting this aayah after the prescribed prayers, it was narrated that Abu Umaamah said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Whoever recites Aayat al-Kursiy immediately after each prescribed prayer, there will be nothing standing between him and his entering Paradise except death. This is how it was narrated by al-Nasaai in al-Yawm wal-Laylah, from al-Hasan ibn Bishr. It was also narrated by Ibn Hibbaan in his Saheeh from Muhammad ibn Humayr, who is al-Homsi, and is also one of the men of al-Bukhaari. The isnaad meets the conditions of al-Bukhaari.

And Allaah knows best.
