وحدثنا محمد بن المثنى، وابن، بشار قالا حدثنا محمد بن جعفر، حدثنا شعبة، ح وحدثني زهير بن حرب، حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن مهدي، حدثنا همام، جميعا عن قتادة، بهذا الإسناد قال شعبة من آخر الكهف ‏.‏ وقال همام من أول الكهف كما قال هشام.
 Ubayy b. Ka'b said:                      Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: O Abu' al-Mundhir, do you know the verse from the Book of Allah which, according to you, is the greatest? I said: Allah and His Apostle (may peace be upon him) know best. He again said: Abu'l-Mundhir, do you know the verse from the Book of Allah which, according to you, is the greatest? I said: Allah, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. Thereupon he struck me on my breast and said: May knowledge be pleasant for you, O Abu'l-Mundhir!
