قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أُعْطِيتُ السُّوَرَ الطِّوَالَ مَكَانَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَ أُعْطِيتُ الْمِئِينَ مَكَانَ الْإِنْجِيلِ وَ أُعْطِيتُ الْمَثَانِيَ مَكَانَ الزَّبُورِ وَ فُضِّلْتُ بِالْمُفَصَّلِ ثَمَانٌ وَ سِتُّونَ سُورَةً وَ هُوَ مُهَيْمِنٌ عَلَى سَائِرِ الْكُتُبِ وَ التَّوْرَاةُ لِمُوسَى وَ الْإِنْجِيلُ لِعِيسَى وَ الزَّبُورُ لِدَاوُدَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Salih Bin Al Sindy, from Ja’far Bin Bashir, from Sa’ad Al Askaf who said, ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘I<sup>saww</sup> have been Given the lengthy Chapters in place of the Torah, and I<sup>saww</sup> have been Given the (Chapter of) one hundred (Verses) in place of the Evangel, and I<sup>saww</sup> have been Given the Double (Surah Al-Fatiha) in place of the Psalms, and I<sup>saww</sup> have been Preferred with the detail of sixty eight Chapters, and these are the pre-dominant upon the rest of the Book; and the Torah is for Musa<sup>as</sup> and the Evangel is for Isa<sup>as</sup>, and the Psalms is for Dawood<sup>as</sup>’’.
