بَيْنَمَا جِبْرِيلُ قَاعِدٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعَ نَقِيضًا مِنْ فَوْقِهِ

(While Jibril was sitting beside the Prophet, peace be upon him, he heard a creaking sound above him.)

فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ

(Then he raised his head)

فَقَالَ هَذَا بَابٌ مِنْ السَّمَاءِ فُتِحَ الْيَوْمَ لَمْ يُفْتَحْ قَطُّ إِلَّا الْيَوْمَ

(Then he said "This door from the heaven is opened on the day that's never been opened except for today")

فَنَزَلَ مِنْهُ مَلَكٌ

(Then from it (i.e. the door) an angel descended.)

فَقَالَ هَذَا مَلَكٌ نَزَلَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ

(Then he (i.e. Jibril) said "This is an angel that descends to the earth...)

لَمْ يَنْزِلْ قَطُّ إِلَّا الْيَوْمَ

(...he never descends but today.")

فَسَلَّمَ

(Then he greeted)

وَقَالَ أَبْشِرْ بِنُورَيْنِ أُوتِيتَهُمَا لَمْ يُؤْتَهُمَا نَبِيٌّ قَبْلَكَ

(Then he said "Rejoice in two lights given to you not give to prophets before you:)

فَاتِحَةُ الْكِتَابِ وَخَوَاتِيمُ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ

(... the Opening of the Book (Al Fatihaah) and the end of Chapter Al Baqarah ...)

لَنْ تَقْرَأَ بِحَرْفٍ مِنْهُمَا إِلَّا أُعْطِيتَهُ

(You don't recite a letter from both of them but you are given (i.e. what you asked on those verses))
