6. Suratush -Shifa:
حدثنا
محمد بن المثنى حدثنا وهب حدثنا هشام عن محمد عن معبد عن أبى سعيد الخدرى قال كنا
فى مسير لنا فنزلنا فجائت جارية فقالت إن سيد الحى سليم وإن نفرنا غيب فهل منكم
راق فقام معها رجل ما كنا نأبنه برقية فرقاه فبرأ فأمر لنا بثلاثين شاة وسقانا
لبنا فلما رجع قلنا له أكنت تحسن رقية أو كنت ترقى قال لا ما رقيت إلا بأم الكتاب
قلنا لا تحدثوا شيئا حتى نأتى أو نسأل النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم فلما قدمنا
المدينة ذكرناه للنبى صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال وما كان يدريه أنها رقية أقسموا
واضربوا لى بسهم
Muhammad Ibnul Musanna told
us, he said Wahab told us, he said Hisham told us on the authority of Muhammad,
he narrated on the authority of Ma’bad, he narrated on the authority of Abu Sayeed
Al-Khudri, who said: While we were one of our journeys, we dismounted at a
place, where a slave- girl came and said: The chief of the tribe has been stung
by a scorpion and our men are not present, is there anyone among you, who can
treat him by reciting something? Then one of our men went along with her,
though we did not think he knew such treatment. But he treated the chief by
Ruqayah(Reciting something from the Quran) and the sick man was cured,
whereupon he gave us 30 sheep and gave us milk to drink. When he returned we
asked our friend- Did you know better Ruqayah, or you did do Ruqayah? He said:
No, but I did Ruqayah by Ummul Kitab (Suratul Fatiha). (I treated him only with
the recitation of Sura Fatiha) We said: do not say anything about it till we
reach or ask Nabi (Sm.).When we reached Madinah, we described that to Nabi
(Sm.).Nabi (Sm.) said: How did he come to know that it (Sura Fatiha) could be
used for treatment? Distribute your reward and give me a portion of that.
(Bukhari, Hadith no-5007, كتاب فضائل القرأن)
7.Suratus Salah: فلقول
النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم " قسمت الصلاة بينى وبين عبدى نصفين " فمعنى
قسمت الصلاة أى قرأة هذه السورة
This Surah is named Suratus Salah, because Allah’s Nabi (Sm.) said: “I
divided Salah between me and my servant into two halves.” Here As-Salah
means-recitation of this Surah.” (Ref.-1).
Other names of Surah Fatiha as described by Jalaluddun As-Suyuti in his
book :
8. Suratul Munajat: لأن
العبد يناجى فيها ربه بقوله إياك نعبد وإياك نستعين: Because the servant of
Allah supplicates his Rab in this Sura by Allah's saying : إياك نعبد وإياك نستعين (It is You we do Ibadah and You we ask for help)
9. Suratut Tafweez( التفويض-Authorization of power): لإشتمالها عليه فى قوله إياك نعبد وإياك نستعين. Because of including the sense of

(Sm.). He (Jibrail (A.) heard the sound of the opening door from above, he
raised his head and said: This is a door from
the sky, opened today that has never been opened except today. Then an Angel
descended from it. He (Jibrail (A.) said: This is an Angel descended to the
Earth, he has never been descended except today. That Angel conveyed Salam to
Nabi (Sm.) and said: Take
good tidings of two noors (Lights) given to you, no Nabi was given them before
you. Fatihatul –Kitab (Sura Fatiha) and the last Ayats of Sura Al-Baqarah. You
will never recite one letter of them but you will be given (The reward)”. (Sahih Muslim, Hadith no-1877 كتاب فضائل القرأن وما يتعلق به)
