3.6 What is said about knowledge
٣۔٦ باب مَا جَاءَ فِي الْعِلْمِ
[Machine] And His saying, exalted is He: "And say, 'My Lord, increase me in knowledge.'" The reading and recitation are upon the muhaddith. Al-Hasan, Al-Thawri, and Malik regarded the reading as permissible. Some of them used the hadith of Dimaam ibn Tha'labah to argue for the reading to be on the scholar. He said to the Prophet, peace be upon him, "Allah has commanded you to lead the prayers, right?" He said: "Yes." He said, "So this is a reading on the Prophet, peace be upon him." Dimaam informed his people of that, and they approved. Malik used the testimony given to someone and read it as a reading on them, and it is read as a reading on the reciter. The reciter says, "So-and-so tells me to recite." Muhammad ibn Salam informed us, Muhammad ibn Al-Hassan Al-Wasiti narrated from Awf, who narrated from Al-Hasan, who said, "There is no harm in reading on the scholar." Muhammad ibn Yusuf Al-Firabri informed us, and Muhammad ibn Ismail Al-Bukhari narrated from Ubaidullah ibn Musa, who narrated from Sufyan, who said, "When it is read on the muhaddith, there is no harm in saying 'he narrated to me.'" I heard Abu Asim saying that Malik and Sufyan considered the reading on the scholar and his reading to be the same. [Tuhfat 18529, 18761 A, 19246 A].
وَقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: {وَقُلْ رَبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا} الْقِرَاءَةُ وَالْعَرْضُ عَلَى الْمُحَدِّثِ. وَرَأَى الْحَسَنُ وَالثَّوْرِيُّ وَمَالِكٌ الْقِرَاءَةَ جَائِزَةً، وَاحْتَجَّ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ عَلَى الْعَالِمِ بِحَدِيثِ ضِمَامِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ الصَّلَوَاتِ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ». قَالَ فَهَذِهِ قِرَاءَةٌ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَ ضِمَامٌ قَوْمَهُ بِذَلِكَ فَأَجَازُوهُ. وَاحْتَجَّ مَالِكٌ بِالصَّكِّ يُقْرَأُ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ فَيَقُولُونَ أَشْهَدَنَا فُلاَنٌ. وَيُقْرَأُ ذَلِكَ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِمْ، وَيُقْرَأُ عَلَى الْمُقْرِئِ فَيَقُولُ الْقَارِئُ أَقْرَأَنِي فُلاَنٌ. حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْوَاسِطِيُّ عَنْ عَوْفٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ عَلَى الْعَالِمِ. وَأَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْفِرَبْرِيُّ وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبُخَارِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ إِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَى الْمُحَدِّثِ فَلاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يَقُولَ حَدَّثَنِي. قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَاصِمٍ يَقُولُ عَنْ مَالِكٍ وَسُفْيَانَ الْقِرَاءَةُ عَلَى الْعَالِمِ وَقِرَاءَتُهُ سَوَاءٌ.
