Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَارِمٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْبَقَرَةُ سَنَامُ الْقُرْآنِ وَذُرْوَتُهُ نَزَلَ مَعَ كُلِّ آيَةٍ مِنْهَا ثَمَانُونَ مَلَكًا وَاسْتُخْرِجَتْ { لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ } مِنْ تَحْتِ الْعَرْشِ فَوُصِلَتْ بِهَا أَوْ فَوُصِلَتْ بِسُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ وَيس قَلْبُ الْقُرْآنِ لَا يَقْرَؤُهَا رَجُلٌ يُرِيدُ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ إِلَّا غُفِرَ لَهُ وَاقْرَءُوهَا عَلَى مَوْتَاكُمْ.
English Translation
Arim told us: Mu'tamir told us, from his father, from a man, from his father, from Ma'qil ibn Yasar, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Al-Baqarah is the hump of the Qur'an and its summit; eighty angels descend with each of its verses. And 'There is no god but He, the Living, the Sustainer' was extracted from beneath the Throne and joined to it" - or "joined to Surat al-Baqarah" - "and Ya-Sin is the heart of the Qur'an; no man recites it seeking Allah, Blessed and Exalted, and the Hereafter, except that he is forgiven. So recite it over your dead."
