Surah Al-Fatihah was revealed in Mecca during the early years of the prophetic mission. In a renowned Sahih al-Bukhari narration, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) informed companion Abu Sa'id ibn al-Mu'alla that it is 'the greatest surah in the Quran,' designated as the seven oft-repeated verses (al-Sab' al-Mathani).
