23. Book of Virtues of the Quran
٢٣۔ كِتَابُ فَضَائِلِ الْقُرْآنِ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “The best of you are those who learn Qurʿan and teach it.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 1318)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «خَيْرُكُمْ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ وَعَلَّمَهُ»
[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "Indeed, the best among you are those who learn the Quran or teach it." He mentioned, "Recite Abu 'Abdul Rahman in the presence of 'Uthman bin 'Affan until Al-Hajjaj came." He said, "That is what fixed me in this position."
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)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «خِيَارُكُمْ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ وَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ» قَالَ «فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي وأَقْعَدَنِي هَذَا الْمَقْعَدَ أُقْرِئُ»
