darimi:3388Marwān b. Muḥammad > Rifdah al-Ghassānī > Thābit b. ʿAjlān al-Anṣārī

[Machine] It is said that Allah wants to bring punishment upon the people of the Earth, but when young children learn wisdom, that is averted from them. Marwan said that by "wisdom" he means the Quran.  

الدارمي:٣٣٨٨حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا رِفْدَةُ الْغَسَّانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتُ بْنُ عَجْلَانَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ كَانَ

يُقَالُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيُرِيدُ الْعَذَابَ بِأَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَإِذَا سَمِعَ تَعْلِيمَ الصِّبْيَانِ الْحِكْمَةَ صَرَفَ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُمْ قَالَ مَرْوَانُ يَعْنِي بِالْحِكْمَةِ الْقُرْآنَ
