ahmad-zuhd:1861ʿAbdullāh from my father > Sayyār > Jaʿfar > Mālik b. Dīnār

[Machine] Indeed, rain is the spring of the earth. Rain descends from the sky, causing plants to be struck by its droplets. Nothing prevents it from shaking and turning green, and it improves the condition of those who carry the Quran. What has the Quran planted in your hearts? Where are the companions of a surah? Where are the companions of two surahs? What have you done with them?  

الزهد لأحمد:١٨٦١حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنِي سَيَّارٌ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَالِكَ بْنَ دِينَارٍ يَقُولُ «يَا حَمَلَةَ الْقُرْآنِ مَاذَا زَرَعَ الْقُرْآنُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ فَإِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كَمَا

أَنَّ [259] الْغَيْثَ رَبِيعُ الْأَرْضِ فَقَدْ يَنْزِلُ الْغَيْثُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَيُصِيبُ الْحُشَّ فِيهِ الْحَبَّةُ وَلَا يَمْنَعُهُ نَتْنُ مَوْضِعِهَا أَنْ تَهْتَزَّ وتَخْضَرَّ وتَحْسُنَ فِيهِ حَمَلَةُ الْقُرْآنِ مَاذَا زَرَعَ الْقُرْآنُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ؟ أَيْنَ أَصْحَابُ سُورَةٍ؟ أَيْنَ أَصْحَابُ سُورَتَيْنِ؟ مَاذَا عَمِلْتُمْ فِيهَا؟»
