I heard the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) recite Sūrah At-Tūr during the Maghrib prayer. When he reached this verse: {Were they created by nothing? Or were they themselves the creators? Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Rather, they are not certain. Or have they the depositories [containing the provision] of your Lord? Or are they the controllers [of them]?}, it was as if my heart was about to take flight

عن جبير بن مطعم رضي الله عنه قال: سمعت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقرأ في المغرب بالطُّور، فلما بلغ هذه الآية: ﴿أم خُلِقُوا من غير شيء أم هم الخالقون، أم خَلَقُوا السموات والأرض بل لا يوقنون، أم عندهم خزائن ربك أم هم المسيطرون﴾. قال: كاد قلبي أن يطير.

Jubayr ibn Mut‘im (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) recite Sūrah At-Tūr during the Maghrib prayer. When he reached this verse: {Were they created by nothing? Or were they themselves the creators? Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Rather, they are not certain. Or have they the depositories [containing the provision] of your Lord? Or are they the controllers [of them]?}, it was as if my heart was about to take flight.
