Tirmidhi Book 47, Hadith 3365
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الرَّازِيِّ، عَنْ الرَّبِيعِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرَ آلِهَتَهُمْ، فَقَالُوا: انْسُبْ لَنَا رَبَّكَ، قَالَ: فَأَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ بِهَذِهِ السُّورَةِ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي سَعْدٍ، وَأَبُو سَعْدٍ اسْمُهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُيَسَّرٍ، وَأَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الرَّازِيُّ اسْمُهُ عِيسَى، وَأَبُو الْعَالِيَةِ اسْمُهُ رُفَيْعٌ وَكَانَ عَبْدًا أَعْتَقَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ صَابِئَةٌ.
Abu Al-Aliyah narrated: “The Prophet mentioned their (the idolater’s) gods, so they said: ‘Then name your Lord’s lineage for us.’” He said: “So Jibril, peace be upon him, came to him with this Surat: Say: “He is Allah, the One.” So he mentioned similarly, but he did not say in it: “From Ubayy bin Ka’b.” And this is more correct than the narration of Abu Sa’eed (no. 3364). Abu Sa’eed’s name is Muhammad bin Muyassar.

Sunan Ibn Mājah
"Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allah! Destroy every miser.'"
