[Machine] From the tradition of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , when a man said to him, "O Abu Nujayd, tell us about the Quran," Imran (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Are you and your companions reciting the Quran? Were you informed about the prayer and its obligations? Were you informed about the zakat (charity) in terms of gold, camels, cows, and different forms of wealth? However, I have witnessed and you have been absent." Then he said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made it obligatory for us in zakat such and such." The man said, "You have revived me, may Allah revive you." Al-Hasan said, "That man did not die until he became one of the scholars of the Muslims, Uqbah ibn Khalid Al-Shanni, from the trustworthy people of Basra and its worshipers. He was an esteemed narrator of hadith whose narrations were compiled, but he did not reach the perfection of the ten merits (top narrators). May peace be upon Muhammad and his family, all of them."
