Various Traditions From al-Ridha صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم

12 - حَدَّثَنا أَحْمَدِ بْنِ عَلِىِّ بْنِ إِبراهِيمِ بْنِ هاشِم رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَني أَبي، عَن جَدِّي هاشِمٍ، عَن عَلِىِّ بْنِ معبد عَنْ الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ خالِد قالَ: قالَ الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ سَمِعْتُ أَبي يَحْدُثَ، عَن أَبِيهِ‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ أَنَّ أَوَّلُ سُورَةٍ نَزَلَتْ (بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ) وَآخِرُ سُورَةٍ نَزَلَتْ (إِذا جاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ).
