 The Greatest Surah in the Quran
The Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi
wasallam) said,
I will teach you a Surah which is
the greatest Surah in the
Qur'an

He said, Al-Hamdu-Lillah Rabbi-l-Alamin

which is Al-Sab'a Al-Mathani (seven repeatedly
recited Verses) and the Grand Qur'an which has
been given to me.

[Sahih Bukhari,www.dremali.com
Book #60, Hadith #1] 5
 Revealed by a Special Angel
Narrated Ibn Abbaas (radiyAllahu anhu):
While the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) was
sitting with Jibreel (alayhi assalam), he heard a creaking sound
above him. Jibreel 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 wasallam) 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]
Ayat of Surah al-Baqarah. You will never recite a word
from them without being given the blessings they
contain."
