Recitation of the Surah "An-Naba' (The Great News)" by Shaykh Mishary bin Rashed al-Afasy
Below is the English Translation of Surah An-Naba' (Ch. 78) by Sahih International:
Surah 78. Surah An-Naba' (The Great News)
1} About what are they asking one another?
2} About the great news -
3} That over which they are in disagreement.
4} No! They are going to know.
5} Then, no! They are going to know.
6} Have We not made the earth a resting place?
7} And the mountains as stakes?
8} And We created you in pairs
9} And made your sleep [a means for] rest
10} And made the night as clothing
11} And made the day for livelihood
12} And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]
13} And made [therein] a burning lamp
14} And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water
15} That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation
16} And gardens of entwined growth.
17} Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -
18} The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes
19} And the heaven is opened and will become gateways
20} And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.
21} Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait
22} For the transgressors, a place of return,
23} In which they will remain for ages [unending].
24} They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink
25} Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -
26} An appropriate recompense.
27} Indeed, they were not expecting an account
28} And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.
29} But all things We have enumerated in writing.
30} "So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment."
31} Indeed, for the righteous is attainment -
32} Gardens and grapevines
33} And full-breasted [companions] of equal age
34} And a full cup.
35} No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -
36} [As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account,
37} [From] the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Most Merciful. They possess not from Him [authority for] speech.
38} The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows, they will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful permits, and he will say what is correct.
39} That is the True Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return.
40} Indeed, We have warned you of a near punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"

Imam al-Bukhaari
A Brief Outlook about Imam al-Bukhaari
His full name was Abu ‘Abd-Allaah Muhammad ibn Ismaa’eel ibn Ibraaheem ibn al-Mugheerah ibn Bardizbah al-Ja’fi al-Bukhaari. His grandfather al-Mugheerah was a freed slave of al-Yamaan al-Ja’fi, the governor of Bukhaarah, so he took his name after he became Muslim.
Imam al-Bukhaari was born in Bukhaara in 194 AH. He grew up an orphan and started to memorize ahaadeeth before he was ten years old. When he was a young man he set out to travel to Makkah and perform the obligation of Hajj. He stayed in Makkah for a while, studying under the imams of fiqh, usool and hadeeth. Then he began to travel around, going from one Islamic region to another, for sixteen years in all. He visited many centers of knowledge where he collected ahaadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) until he had compiled more than 600,000 ahaadeeth. He referred to one thousand scholars of hadeeth and discussed these reports with them. These scholars were people who were known for their sincerity, piety and sound belief. From this huge number of ahaadeeth he compiled his book al-Saheeh, following the most precise scientific guidelines in his research as to their authenticity and in distinguishing the saheeh (sound) from the weak, and in finding out about the narrators, until he recorded in his book the most sound of the sound, although it does not contain all the saheeh ahaadeeth. The book’s full title is al-Jaami’ al-Saheeh al-Musnad min Hadeeth Rasool-Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) wa Sunanihi wa Ayaamihi.
The governor of Bukhaara wanted al-Bukhaari to come to his house to teach his children and read ahaadeeth to them. But al-Bukhaari refused and wrote to him: “Knowledge is to be sought in its own house,” meaning that knowledge is to be sought not summoned. Whoever wanted to learn from the scholars should go to them in the mosque or in their houses. So the governor bore a grudge against him and ordered that he be expelled from Bukhaara. So he went to the village of Khartank which is near Samarqand, where he had relatives, and he settled there until he died in 256 AH at the age of 62. May Allaah have mercy upon him.
Al-Bukhaari was a Shaykh of Islam, and the leading scholar of hadeeth, Abu ‘Abd-Allaah Muhammad ibn Ismaa’eel ibn Ibraaheem, the author of al-Saheeh and other books. He was born in Shawwaal 194 AH, and he first started to study hadeeth in 205. He memorized the works of Ibn al-Mubaarak when he was a child, and he grew up an orphan.
He compiled books and narrated hadeeth when there was still no hair on his face. He was very intelligent, knowledgeable, pious and devoted to worship.
He was slim, neither tall nor short, somewhat dark skinned.
He used to say: When I reached the age of eighteen, I started to compile cases judged by the Sahaabah and Taabi’een, and their views during the days of ‘Ubayd-Allaah ibn Moosa, and at that time I compiled al-Tareekh by the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) on moonlit nights.
And he used to say: I memorized one hundred thousand saheeh ahaadeeth, and I memorized two hundred non-saheeh ahaadeeth.
Ibn Khuzaymah said: There is no one beneath the canopy of heaven who is more knowledgeable of hadeeth than al-Bukhaari.
He died on the night of Eid al-Fitr 256 AH. End quote.
