[Machine] "That he should stand at it as you learned that you are today the Quran. Then I saw today men who were given the Quran before faith, so he reads from its beginning to its end, not knowing what his command is, nor his prohibition, nor what he should stop at from it. So he scatters it like the scattering of broken pieces."  

البيهقي:٥٢٩٠ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْمَعْرُوفِ الْفَقِيهُ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ بِهَا ثنا أَبُو سَهْلٍ بِشْرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ بِشْرٍ أنبأ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْقَطَّانُ ثنا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ جَنَّادٍ الْحَلَبِيُّ ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ لَقَدْ عِشْنَا بُرْهَةً مِنْ دَهْرِنَا وَأَحَدُنَا يُؤْتَى الْإِيمَانَ قَبْلَ الْقُرْآنِ وَتَنْزِلُ السُّورَةُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَنَتَعَلَّمُ حَلَالَهَا وَحَرَامَهَا وَآمِرَهَا وَزَاجِرَهَا وَمَا يَنْبَغِي

أَنْ يَقِفَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْهَا كَمَا تَعَلَّمُونَ أَنْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ الْقُرْآنَ ثُمَّ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ الْيَوْمَ رِجَالًا يُؤْتَى أَحَدُهُمُ الْقُرْآنَ قَبْلَ الْإِيمَانِ فَيَقْرَأُ مَا بَيْنَ فَاتِحَتِهِ إِلَى خَاتِمَتِهِ مَا يَدْرِي مَا آمِرُهُ وَلَا زَاجِرُهُ وَلَا مَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَقِفَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْهُ فَيَنْثُرَهُ نَثْرَ الدَّقَلِ

[Machine] The translation of the provided Arabic text is:

Narrated to us: Faith was revealed before the Quran, and the surahs are revealed to Muhammad (pbuh), so that he may learn their permissibility and prohibition, and what should be emphasized in. Just as you know that you are the Quran." Then, he said, "I have seen men who are given the Quran and they read from the beginning to the end, not knowing what to do or what to avoid, or what to emphasize out of it. They scatter it like scattered seeds."  

الحاكم:١٠١ – حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلْمَانَ الْفَقِيهُ ثنا هِلَالُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ الرَّقِّيُّ ثنا أَبِي ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ «لَقَدْ عِشْنَا بُرْهَةً مِنْ دَهْرِنَا وَإِنَّ

أَحْدَثَنَا يُؤْتَى الْإِيمَانَ قَبْلَ الْقُرْآنِ وَتَنْزِلُ السُّورَةُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَيَتَعَلَّمُ حَلَالَهَا وَحَرَامَهَا وَمَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُوقَفَ عِنْدَهُ فِيهَا كَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنْتُمُ الْقُرْآنَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رِجَالًا يُؤْتَى أَحَدُهُمُ الْقُرْآنَ فَيَقْرَأُ مَا بَيْنَ فَاتِحَتِهِ إِلَى خَاتِمَتِهِ مَا يَدْرِي مَا أَمْرُهُ وَلَا زَاجِرُهُ وَلَا مَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُوقَفَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْهُ يَنْثُرُهُ نَثْرَ الدَّقَلِ»
