The answer

Perhaps the surah intended by (A surah has been revealed to me that is dearer to me than all that the sun has risen upon) is Surah Al-Fath. It is mentioned in Sahih Muslim that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, recited it in the year of the Conquest (Fath). In Al-Bukhari, it is narrated that Umar ibn Al-Khattab asked the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, several times, but he did not answer him. Umar feared that a Qur'anic verse had been revealed about him. Then the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, called him to inform him that a surah had been revealed to him that was dearer to him than all that the sun had risen upon, and he recited to him: "Indeed, We have granted you a clear triumph (fath)." Ahmad also narrated that the Prophet recited Surah Al-Fath during his journey in the year of the Conquest.
