How many Ayat does Al-Fatihah contain – TAFSIR IBN KATHIR

There is no disagreement over the view that Al-Fatihah contains seven Ayat. According to the majority of the reciters of Al-Kufah, a group of the Companions, the Tabi` in, and a number of scholars from the successive generations, the Bismillah is a separate Ayah in its beginning. We will mention this subj ect again soon, if Allah wills, and in Him we trust.

The Number of Words and Letters in Al-Fatihah

The scholars say that Al-Fatihah consists of twenty-five words, and that it contains one hundred and thirteen letters

The Reason it is called Umm Al-Kitab

In the beginning of the Book of Tafsir, in his Sahih, Al-Bukhari said; “It is called Umm Al-Kitab, because the Qur’an starts with it and because the prayer is started by reciting it.” It was also said that it is called Umm Al-Kitab, because it contains the meanings of the entire Qur’an. Ibn Jarir said, “The Arabs call every comprehensive matter that contains several specific areas an Umm. For instance, they call the skin that surrounds the brain, Umm Ar-Ra’s. They also call the flag that gathers the ranks of the army an Umm.” He also said, “Makkah was called Umm Al-Qura, (the Mother of the Villages) because it is the grandest and the leader of all villages. It was also said that the earth was made starting from Makkah.”

Further, Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Hurayrah narrated about Umm Al-Qur’an that the Prophet said, (It is Umm Al-Qur’an, the seven repeated (verses) and the Glorious Qur’an.)

Also, Abu Ja` far, Muhammad bin Jarir At-Tabari recorded Abu Hurayrah saying that the Messenger of Allah said about Al-Fatihah, (It is Umm Al-Qur’an, Al-Fatihah of the Book (the Opener of the Qur’an) and the seven repeated (verses).)

Virtues of Al-Fatihah – TAFSIR IBN KATHIR

Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal recorded in the Musnad that Abu Sa` id bin Al-Mu` alla said, “I was praying when the Prophet called me, so I did not answer him until I finished the prayer. I then went to him and he said, (What prevented you from coming) I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah ! I was praying.’ He said, (` Didn’t Allah say),

(O you who believe! Answer Allah (by obeying Him) and (His) Messenger when he () calls you to that which gives you life) He then said,

(I will teach you the greatest Surah in the Qur’an before you leave the Masj id.) He held my hand and when he was about to leave the Masj id, I said, ` O Messenger of Allah! You said: I will teach you the greatest Surah in the Qur’an.’ He said, (Yes.)

(Al-Hamdu lillahi Rabbil-` Alamin)”

(It is the seven repeated (verses) and the Glorious Qur’an that I was given.)”

Al-Bukhari, Abu Dawud, An-Nasa’i and Ibn Maj ah also recorded this Hadith.

Also, Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Hurayrah said, “The Messenger of Allah went out while Ubayy bin Ka` b was praying and said, (O Ubayy!) Ubayy did not answer him. The Prophet said, (O Ubayy!) Ubayy prayed faster then went to the Messenger of Allah saying, ` Peace be unto you, O Messenger of Allah!’ He said, (Peace be unto you. O Ubayy, what prevented you from answering me when I called you) He said, ` O Messenger of Allah! I was praying.’ He said, (Did you not read among what Allah has sent down to me,)

(Answer Allah (by obeying Him) and (His) Messenger when he () calls you to that which gives you life) He said, ` Yes, O Messenger of Allah! I will not do it again.’ the Prophet said,

(Would you like me to teach you a Surah the likes of which nothing has been revealed in the Tawrah, the Inj il, the Zabur (Psalms) or the Furqan (the Qur’an)) He said, ` Yes, O Messenger of Allah!’ The Messenger of Allah said, (I hope that I will not leave through this door until you have learned it.) He (Ka` b) said, ` The Messenger of Allah held my hand while speaking to me. Meanwhile I was slowing down fearing that he might reach the door before he finished his conversation. When we came close to the door, I said: O Messenger of Allah ! What is the Surah that you have promised to teach me’ He said, (What do you read in the prayer.) Ubayy said, ` So I recited Umm Al-Qur’an to him.’ He said,

(By Him in Whose Hand is my soul! Allah has never revealed in the Tawrah, the Inj il, the Zabur or the Furqan a Surah like it. It is the seven repeated verses that I was given.)”
