عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ خَيْرَكُمْ مَنْ عَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ أَوْ تَعَلَّمَهُ» قَالَ «أَقْرَأَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فِي إِمْرَةِ عُثْمَانَ حَتَّى كَانَ الْحَجَّاجُ» قَالَ «ذَلكَ أَقْعَدَنِي مَقْعَدِي هَذَا»

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'The best of you is the one who learns the Qur'an and teaches it.' " 'Then he (Mus'ab) took me (the narrator) by the hand and made me sit here, and I started to teach Qur'an.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 213)
