[Machine] Umair bin Al-Khattab passed by a young boy who was reading in the Quran, "The Prophet is more worthy of the believers than themselves, and his wives are their mothers" (Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 6). Umair asked the boy what he was reading, and he replied, "This is my father's copy of the Quran." Umair went to his father and asked him about it. His father said, "The Quran used to occupy me, and it has occupied you with the marketplace transactions."

"عَنْ بَجَالَةَ (*) قَالَ مَرَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ بِغُلاَمٍ وَهُو يَقْرأُ في الْمُصْحَفِ {النَّبِيُّ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَأَزْوَاجُهُ أُمَّهَاتُهُمْ} (*)، وَهُوَ أَبٌ لَهُمْ فَقَال: يَا غُلاَمُ حُكَّهَا قَالَ: هَذَا مُصْحَفُ أُبَىٍّ. فَذَهَبَ إِلَيْه فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُلَهِّيِنى الْقُرْآنُ وَيُلْهِيكَ الصَّفَقُ بالأَسْوَاقِ".
