Qurtubi also writes that the Prophet once asked Ubayy, "O'Abul Mundhir! Do you know which of the verse of the Koran in your possession is the greatest?" Ubayy said, "God and His Apostle know best." The Prophet struck Ubayy in the chest and exclaimed, "You possess true knowledge. By Him in whose Hand is my soul, the Throne Verse has a tongue and two lips with which it sanctifies the King at the foot of the Throne." The Prophet also said to Ali bin Abu Talib: "The mast of the Koran is Surat al-Baqarah, and the master of Sura Baqarah is the Throne Verse. O'Ali, it consists of fifty words, and every word contains fifty blessings." (Majma al-Bayan fi Tafsir al-Koran, 2:299). The following is the ayat al-kursi with translation:- Allaho la illaha illa howa God! There is no god but He. Al haiyul qayyum The Ever-Living, the Self-Subsisting. La ta'khozuhoo sinatun wala naum Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. Lahu ma fis samaa waate wama fil ard To him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Manzallazi yashfa'o indadhu illa bi iznehi Who is he that can intercede with Him except by His permission. Ya'lamo man baina adideehim wama khalfahum He knows that which is in front of them and that which is behind them. Walla yoheetuna bi shai'im min ilmehi illa bemashaa'a And they encompass nothing of His knowledge except what He pleases. Wase'a kursiuhus samaawaate wal ard His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth. Wala ya'oododhu hifzohuma He is never tired of preserving them. Wa howal Aliul Azeem He is the Most Hight, the Great. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
