The Messenger of Allah ﷺ one day came out to us while we were reciting the Qur’an. He said: Praise be to Allah. The Book of Allah is one, and among you are the red, and among you are the white and among you are the black. Recite it before there appear people who will recite it and straighten it as an arrow is straightened. They will get their reward for it in this world and will not get it in the Hereafter. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 831)  

عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا وَنَحْنُ نَقْتَرِئُ فَقَالَ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ وَاحِدٌ وَفِيكُمُ الْأَحْمَرُ وَفِيكُمُ الْأَسْوَدُ اقْرَؤُوهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْرَأَهُ أَقْوَامٌ يُقَوِّمُونَهُ كَمَا يُقَوَّمُ أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ يَتَعَجَّلُ أَجْرَه ُ وَلَا يَتَأَجَّلُهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "None of you should say, 'I have forgotten a verse, but I remember part of it.' For indeed, he has not forgotten it, but rather, it has been made to be forgotten."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَقُولُ أَحَدُكُمْ نَسِيتُ آيَةَ كَيْتَ وَكَيْتَ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ هُوَ نَسِيَ وَلَكِنَّهُ نُسِّيَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Remember the Quran, for it is sharper and more penetrating than the chests of men. How terrible it is for one of you to say, 'I have forgotten an Ayah (verse), but I will not forget a poem or a song.' Rather, he has forgotten."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اسْتَذْكِرُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَلَهُوَ أَشَدُّ تَفَصِّيًا مِنْ صُدُورِ الرِّجَالِ مِنَ النَّعَمِ مِنْ عُقُلِهَا وَبِئْسَمَا لِأَحَدِكُمْ أَنْ يَقُولَ نَسِيتُ آيَةَ كَيْتَ وَكَيْتَ مَا نَسِيَ وَلَكِنْ نُسِّيَ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: "It is not right for any one of you to say: 'I have forgotten such and such a verse.' Rather, he has been caused to forget. Study the Qur'an, for it escapes from the heart of man faster than a camel escapes from its fetter. " (Using translation from Nasāʾī 943)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اسْتَذْكِرُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَلَهُوَ أَشَدُّ تَفَصِّيًا مِنْ صُدُورِ الرِّجَالِ مِنَ النَّعَمِ مِنْ عُقُلِهَا وَبِئْسَمَا لِأَحَدِكُمْ أَنْ يَقُولَ نَسِيتُ آيَةَ كَيْتَ وَكَيْتَ بَلْ هُوَ نُسِّيَ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The example of the person who knows the Qur'an by heart is like the owner of tied camels. If he keeps them tied, he will control them, but if he releases them, they will run away." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5031)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ صَاحِبِ الْقُرْآنِ كَصَاحِبِ الْإِبِلِ الْمُعَقَّلَةِ إِنْ عَاهَدَ عَلَيْهَا أَمْسَكَهَا وَإِنْ أَطْلَقَهَا ذَهَبَتْ»  

"The likeness of the Quran is that of a hobbled camel. If its owner ties its rope, he will keep it, but if he loosens its rope it will go away." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3783)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ مَثَلَ صَاحِبِ الْقُرْآنِ مَثَلُ صَاحِبِ الْإِبِلِ الْمُعَقَّلَةِ إِنْ عَاهَدَ عَلَيْهَا عَقَلَهَا وَإِنْ أَطْلَقَهَا ذَهَبَتْ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: One who was devoted to the Qur'an will be told to recite, ascend and recite carefully as he recited carefully when he was in the world, for he will reach his abode when he comes to the last verse he recites. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1464)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يُقَالُ لِصَاحِبِ الْقُرْآنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ اقْرَأْ وَرَتِّلْ كَمَا كُنْتَ تُرَتِّلُ فِي دَارِ الدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّ مَنْزِلَتَكَ عِنْدَ آخِرِ آيَةٍ كُنْتَ تَقْرَؤُهَا»  

One who is skilled in the Qur'an is associated with the noble, upright recording angels, and he who falters when he recites the Qur'an and finds it difficult for him will have a double reward. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1454)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَهُوَ مَاهِرٌ بِهِ مَعَ السَّفَرَةِ الْكِرَامِ الْبَرَرَةِ وَالَّذِي يَقْرَؤُهُ وَهُوَ يَشْتَدُّ عَلَيْهِ لَهُ أَجْرَانِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No group of people gathers in a mosque, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it among themselves, except that tranquility descends upon them, mercy enfolds them, the angels surround them, and Allah mentions them to those in His presence. And whoever is slow in their actions will not be expedited by their lineage."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا جَلَسَ قَوْمٌ فِي مَسْجِدٍ مِنْ مَسَاجِدِ اللَّهِ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَيَتَدَارَسُونَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ إِلَّا نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّكِينَةُ وَغَشِيَتْهُمُ الرَّحْمَةُ وَحَفَّتْهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَذَكَرَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِيمَنْ عِنْدَهُ وَمَنْ أَبْطَأَ بِهِ عَمَلُهُ لَمْ يُسْرِعْ بِهِ نَسَبُهُ»  

[Machine] "I heard Al-Bara'ah saying that there was a man who used to recite Surat Al-Kahf and his horse was tied up, and it became restless and started to move around, appearing like a mist or cloud that had surrounded him. So he came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned this to him, and the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Recite, O so and so, for that is tranquility that descended due to the recitation of the Quran.'"  

سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْكَهْفِ وَدَابَّتُهُ مُوثَقَةٌ فَجَعَلَتْ تَنْفِرُ تَرَى مِثْلَ الضَّبَابَةِ أَوِ الْغَمَامَةِ قَدْ غَشِيَتْهُ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ «اقْرَأْ يَا فُلَانُ تِلْكَ السَّكِينَةُ أُنْزِلَتْ عِنْدَ الْقُرْآنِ أَوْ لِلْقُرْآنِ»  

The Prophet said: "The likeness of the believer who recites the Qur'an is that of a citron, the taste and smell of which are good. The likeness of a believer who does not read the Qur'an is that of a date, the taste of which is good but it has no smell. The likeness of a hypocrite who reads the Qur'an is that of a sweet basil, the smell of which is good but its taste is bitter. And the likeness of a hypocrite who does not read the Qur'an is that of a colocynth (bitter apple), the taste of which is bitter and it has no smell.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 214)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَثَلِ الْأُتْرُجَّةِ طَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَرِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَمَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَثَلِ التَّمْرَةِ طَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَلَا رِيحَ لَهَا وَمَثَلُ الْفَاجِرِ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَثَلِ الرَّيْحَانَةِ رِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَطَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ وَمَثَلُ الْفَاجِرِ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَثَلِ الْحَنْظَلَةِ طَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ وَلَا رِيحَ لَهَا»  

"The Prophet [SAW] said: 'The parable of the believer who recites the Qur'an is that of a citron, the taste and smell of which are good. The parable of a believer who does not read the Qur'an is that of a date, the taste of which is good but it has no smell. The parable of a hypocrite who reads the Qur'an is that of basil, the smell of which is good but its taste is bitter. And the parable of a hypocrite who does not read the Qur'an is that of a colocynth (bitter-apple), the taste of which is bitter and it has no smell.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5038)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ مَثَلُ الْأُتْرُجَّةِ طَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَرِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَمَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ مَثَلُ التَّمْرَةِ طَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَلَا رِيحَ لَهَا وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ أَوِ الْفَاجِرِ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ مَثَلُ الرَّيْحَانَةِ رِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَطَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ أَوِ الْفَاجِرِ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَثَلِ الْحَنْظَلَةِ طَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ وَلَا رِيحَ لَهَا»  

Whom have you appointed as your deputy over the people of the valley? He said: I have appointed Ibn Abza over them, ‘Umar said: Who is Ibn Abza? Nafiʼ said: One of our freed slaves. ‘Umar said: Have you appointed a freed slave over them? Nafi’ said: He has great knowledge of the Book of Allah, is well versed in the rules of inheritance (al­-fara'id) and is a (good) qadi (judge). 'Umar said. Indeed your Prophet ﷺ said, “Allah raises some people (in status) by means of this Book and brings others low by means of it.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 232)   

عُمَرُ مَنِ اسْتَخْلَفْتَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْوَادِي؟ يَعْنِي أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ قَالَ ابْنَ أَبْزَى قَالَ وَمَنِ ابْنُ أَبْزَى؟ قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمَوَالِي قَالَ عُمَرُ اسْتَخْلَفْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَوْلًى؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ قَارِئٌ لِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّ نَبِيَّكُمْ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَرْفَعُ بِهَذَا الْقُرْآنِ أَقْوَامًا وَيَضَعُ بِهِ آخَرِينَ»  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, teach me the Quran." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Recite three verses from Surah Al-Ra'ad." The man said, "I am old, my tongue is heavy, and my heart is hard." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Recite three verses from Surah Al-Hamd." The man said, "It is the same for me, but please teach me a comprehensive Surah, O Messenger of Allah." So the Prophet ﷺ recited to him the verse, 'When the earth is shaken...' until 'good or evil, shall see it.' The man said, "By the One who has sent you with the truth, I do not care to add to it until I meet Allah, but tell me what good deeds I should do." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Perform the five daily prayers, observe fasting in Ramadan, perform Hajj to the House of Allah, give Zakat from your wealth, enjoin good and forbid evil."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقْرِئْنِي الْقُرْآنَ قَالَ «اقْرَأْ ثَلَاثًا مِنْ ذَوَاتِ الر» قَالَ الرَّجُلُ كَبُرَ سِنِّي وَثَقُلَ لِسَانِي وَغَلُظَ قَلْبِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اقْرَأْ ثَلَاثًا مِنْ ذَوَاتِ حم» فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَلَكِنْ أَقْرِئْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سُورَةً جَامِعَةً فَأَقْرَأَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ {إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ} حَتَّى بَلَغَ {مَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ} قَالَ الرَّجُلُ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أُبَالِي أَنْ لَا أَزِيدَ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى أَلْقَى اللَّهَ وَلَكِنْ أَخْبِرْنِي بِمَا عَلَيَّ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ أَعْمَلْ مَا أَطَقْتُ الْعَمَلَ قَالَ «الصَّلَوَاتُ الْخُمْسُ وَصِيَامُ رَمَضَانَ وَحَجُّ الْبَيْتِ وَأَدِّ زَكَاةَ مَالِكَ وَمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَانْهَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was on a journey when he stopped and a man from his companions walked beside him. The Prophet turned to him and said, "Shall I not tell you about the best of the Qur'an?" The man replied, "Please recite it to me." The Prophet recited to him, "{Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all worlds.}"  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي مَسِيرٍ فَنَزَلَ فَمَشَى رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ إِلَى جَانِبِهِ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَفْضَلِ الْقُرْآنِ»؟ قَالَ فَتَلَا عَلَيْهِ «{الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ} »  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, did not reveal in the Tawrah or the Injil anything like Umm Al-Quran (Al-Fatihah), which is the seven oft-recited, and (Allah said) it is divided between Myself and My slave will have what he asked for.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 914)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مَا فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَلَا فِي الْإِنْجِيلِ مِثْلُ أُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَهِيَ السَّبْعُ الْمَثَانِي وَهِيَ مَقْسُومَةٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِي وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ»  

[Machine] Regarding the Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever performs a prayer without reciting the opening chapter of the Book (Surah Al-Fatiha) in it, it is incomplete, it is incomplete."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ صَلَّى صَلَاةً لَمْ يَقْرَأْ فِيهَا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ غَيْرُ تَمَامٍ»  

[Machine] "I was praying in the mosque when the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) called me, but I did not respond to him. So I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I was praying.' He said, 'Did Allah not say, 'Respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you?' Then he said, 'Shall I not teach you a surah that is the greatest surah in the Quran?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.' It is Surah Al-Fatiha and the Quran that has been given to me.'"  

كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَدَعَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ أُجِبْهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي فَقَالَ «أَلَمْ يَقُلِ اللَّهُ {اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ} ؟ » ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ سُورَةً هِيَ أَعْظَمُ سُورَةٍ فِي الْقُرْآنِ؟ » فَقُلْتُ بَلَى فَقَالَ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ هِيَ السَّبْعُ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنُ الَّذِي أُوتِيتُهُ»  

[Machine] While Gabriel was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ, he heard a creaking sound above him, so he raised his head and said, "A door in the sky has been opened, that has never been opened before." An angel came to him and said, "Rejoice with two surahs that have been given to you, which no prophet before you has been given: the Opening of the Book (Al-Fatiha) and the Concluding Surah of Al-Baqarah. You will not recite a letter of them except that you will be given (reward)."  

بَيْنَمَا جِبْرِيلُ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ سَمِعَ نَقِيضًا مِنْ فَوْقِهِ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَقَالَ لَقَدْ فُتِحَ بَابٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَا فُتِحَ قَطُّ فَأَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبْشِرْ بِسُورَتَيْنِ أُوتِيتَهُمَا لَمْ يُعْطَهُمَا نَبِيٌّ كَانَ قَبْلَكَ فَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَخَوَاتِيمِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ لَنْ تَقْرَأَ مِنْهَا حَرْفًا إِلَّا أُعْطِيتَهُ  

[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, while I was reciting Surah Al-Baqarah last night, I heard a noise behind me and I thought that my horse had escaped. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Continue reading, O Abu 'Atik." So I turned around and saw a light extending between the sky and the earth. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept saying, "Continue reading, O Abu 'Atik." So I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I cannot continue." And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Those are the angels who descended to hear the recitation of Surah Al-Baqarah. If you had gone on, you would have seen miracles."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَقْرَأُ اللَّيْلَةَ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ إِذْ سَمِعْتُ وَجْبَةً مِنْ خَلْفِي فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ فَرَسِي انْطَلَقَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اقْرَأْ يَا أَبَا عَتِيكٍ» فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا مِثْلُ الْمِصْبَاحِ مُدَلًّى بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «اقْرَأْ يَا أَبَا عَتِيكٍ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَنْ أَمْضِيَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تِلْكَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ نَزَلَتْ لِقِرَاءَةِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ مَضَيْتَ لَرَأَيْتَ الْعَجَائِبَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allahﷺ said: "Verily, everything has a pinnacle and the pinnacle of the Qur'an is Surah Al-Baqarah. Whoever recites it in his house at night, Shaytan will not enter his house for three nights, and whoever recites it during the day, Shaytan will not enter his house for three days."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ سَنَامًا وَإِنَّ سَنَامَ الْقُرْآنِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا فِي بَيْتِهِ لَيْلًا لَمْ يَدْخُلِ الشَّيْطَانُ بَيْتَهُ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ وَمَنْ قَرَأَهَا نَهَارًا لَمْ يَدْخُلِ الشَّيْطَانُ بَيْتَهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ»  

[Machine] "I met Abu Mas'ud while performing the Tawaf, so I asked him about it. He told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever recites the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah in one night, they will be sufficient for him.’"  

لَقِيتُ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ فِي الطَّوَافِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْهُ فَحَدَّثَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ قَرَأَ الْآيَتَيْنِ مِنْ آخِرِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ كَفَتَاهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The two verses that conclude Surah al-Baqarah should not be recited in a house for three nights, to prevent Satan from approaching it."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْآيَتَانِ خُتِمَ بِهِمَا سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ لَا تُقْرَآنِ فِي دَارٍ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ فَيَقْرَبُهَا شَيْطَانٌ»  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said, "Do not make your houses graveyards. Pray in them, for indeed, the devil flees from the house in which Surah Al-Baqarah is recited."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا تَتَّخِذُوا بُيُوتَكُمْ مَقَابِرَ صَلُّوا فِيهَا فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لِيَفِرُّ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ يَسْمَعُ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ تُقْرَأُ فِيهِ»  

[Machine] He informed him that they had a garden in which there was a date palm tree, and it was one that he particularly took care of. However, he noticed that it was decreasing in yield. So, one night he guarded it and suddenly he saw a creature like the appearance of a young boy approaching. He greeted it with salam (peace be upon you), and he responded with the same greeting. He then asked, "Are you a jinn or a human?" The creature replied, "I am a jinn." He said, "Show me your hand." And there, he saw a dog's paw and dog's hair. He said, "This is how the jinn are created." The jinn replied, "I know that none of them is stronger than me." He then asked, "What led you to do what you did?" The jinn replied, "I heard that you are a man who loves charity, so I wanted to eat from your food." He asked, "What can protect us from you?" The jinn replied, "This verse, the verse of the Throne." He left the jinn and went to his father, and informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He has told the truth, even though he is a wicked creature."  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُمْ جَرِينٌ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ وَكَانَ مِمَّا يَتَعَاهَدُهُ فَيَجِدُهُ يَنْقُصُ فَحَرَسَهُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِدَابَّةٍ كَهَيْئَةِ الْغُلَامِ الْمُحْتَلِمِ قَالَ فَسَلَّمْتُ فَرَدَّ السَّلَامَ فَقُلْتُ مَا أَنْتَ جِنٌّ أَمْ إِنْسٌ؟ فَقَالَ جِنٌّ فَقُلْتُ نَاوِلْنِي يَدَكَ فَإِذَا يَدُ كَلْبٍ وَشَعْرُ كَلْبٍ فَقُلْتُ هَكَذَا خُلِقَ الْجِنُّ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ الْجِنُّ أَنَّهُ مَا فِيهِمْ مَنْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنِّي فَقُلْتُ مَا يَحْمِلُكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ رَجُلٌ تُحِبُّ الصَّدَقَةَ فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أُصِيبَ مِنْ طَعَامِكَ قُلْتُ فَمَا الَّذِي يَحْرِزُنَا مِنْكُمْ؟ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ قَالَ فَتَرَكْتُهُ وَغَدَا أَبِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «صَدَقَ الْخَبِيثُ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Whoever recites ten verses from Surah Al-Kahf will be protected from the trials of the Anti-Christ."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ قَرَأَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ سُورَةِ الْكَهْفِ عُصِمَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ, he said: "Whoever recites ten verses from the end of Surah Al-Kahf, will be protected from the Dajjal."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ قَرَأَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ آخِرِ الْكَهْفِ عُصِمَ مِنَ الدَّجَّالِ»  

[Machine] The following is the translation of the given Arabic text:

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, there is a surah in the Quran consisting of thirty verses that seek forgiveness for its reciter until he is forgiven. It is [the chapter that starts with] 'Blessed is He in whose hand is the dominion.'" Abu Usamah confirmed it and said, "Yes."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ سُورَةً فِي الْقُرْآنِ ثَلَاثُونَ آيَةً تَسْتَغْفِرُ لِصَاحِبِهَا حَتَّى يُغْفَرَ لَهُ {تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ} »؟ فَأَقَرَّ بِهِ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ وَقَالَ نَعَمْ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: A surah of the Qur'an containing thirty verses will intercede its reader till he will be forgiven. That is: "Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the sovereignty" (Surah 67). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1400)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «سُورَةٌ فِي الْقُرْآنِ ثَلَاثُونَ آيَةً تَسْتَغْفِرُ لِصَاحِبِهَا حَتَّى يُغْفَرَ لَهُ تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ»  

[Machine] I entered to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Prophet of Allah, teach me something that I can say when I go to my bed." He said, "Recite Say, 'O disbelievers,'"  

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ عَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا أَقُولُهُ إِذَا أَوَيْتُ إِلَى فِرَاشِي قَالَ «اقْرَأْ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ*»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you have a night partner whom you trust to take care of her?" He then came and asked the prophet ﷺ , "I left her with her mother." He said, "So what brought you here?" He replied, "I came to learn something to say during my sleep." He said, "Recite 'Say, O disbelievers' (Quran 109) and then sleep with its ending, for it is a declaration of innocence from polytheism."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «هَلْ لَكَ فِي رَبِيبَةٍ فَيَكْفُلُهَا* * رَبِيبٌ » *؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَسَأَلَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ تَرَكْتُهَا عِنْدَ أُمِّهَا قَالَ «فَمَجِيءٌ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟ » قَالَ جِئْتُ لِتُعَلِّمَنِي شَيْئًا أَقُولُهُ عِنْدَ مَنَامِي قَالَ «اقْرَأْ {قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ} ثُمَّ نَمْ عَلَى خَاتِمَتِهَا فَإِنَّهَا بَرَاءَةٌ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ»  

A man heard another man reciting (Surat-Al-Ikhlas) 'Say He is Allah, (the) One.' (112. 1) repeatedly. The next morning he came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him about it as if he thought that it was not enough to recite. On that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By Him in Whose Hand my life is, this Surah is equal to one-third of the Qur'an!" (Using translation from Bukhārī 5013)  

سَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَقْرَأُ {قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ} يُرَدِّدُهَا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَكَأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَتَقَالُّهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهَا لَتَعْدِلُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ»  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, indeed I love 'say: He is Allah, [who is] One.' Then the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Your love for it will enter you into Paradise.'"  

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «حُبُّكَ إِيَّاهَا أَدْخَلَكَ الْجَنَّةَ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a man on a campaign, and he used to recite to his companions when leading them in prayer, and would conclude with 'Say: He is Allah, (the) One.' When they returned, they told the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that. He said: "Ask them why he did that." So they asked him and he said: "Because it is a description of the Most Merciful, the Mighty and Sublime, and I love to recite it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Tell him that Allah (SWT), the Mighty and Sublime, loves him." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 993)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ رَجُلًا عَلَى سَرِيَّةٍ فَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ لِأَصْحَابِهِ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ فَلَمَّا رَجَعُوا ذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «سَلُوهُ لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ صَنَعَ هَذَا»؟ فَسَأَلُوهُ فَقَالَ أَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَقْرَأَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَخْبِرُوهُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّهُ»  

[Machine] A man used to recite the Surah "Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad" in every prayer along with every other Surah while he was leading his companions in prayer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him why he did that, and he replied, "I love it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Loving it has brought you to Paradise."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَلْزَمُ قِرَاءَةَ {قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ} فِي الصَّلَاةِ مَعَ كُلِّ سُورَةٍ وَهُوَ يَؤُمُّ بِأَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِيهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أُحِبُّهَا قَالَ «حُبُّهَا أَدْخَلَكَ الْجَنَّةَ»  

"I followed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he was riding, and I placed my hand on his foot and said : O Messenger of Allah, teach me Surah Hud and Surah Yusuf. He said: 'You will never recite anything greater before Allah than: "Say: I seek refuge with (Allah), the Lord of the daybreak." And "Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of mankind.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 953)   

تَبِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَوْمًا وَهُوَ رَاكِبٌ فَوَضَعْتُ يَدِي عَلَى يَدِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقْرِئْنِي مِنْ سُورَةِ هُودٍ وَمِنْ سُورَةِ يُوسُفَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَقْرَأَ شَيْئًا أَبْلَغَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ»  

"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said to me: 'Recite, O Jabir!' I said: 'What should I recite, may my father and mother be ransomed for you, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: Recite: 'Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of the daybreak...,' and: 'Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of mankind...' So I recited them, and he said: 'Recite them, for you will never recite anything like them.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5441)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اقْرَأْ يَا جَابِرُ» قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا أَقْرَأُ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ «{قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ} وَ {قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ} » فَقَرَأْتُهُمَا فَقَالَ ﷺ «اقْرَأْ بِهِمَا وَلَنْ تَقْرَأَ بِمِثْلِهِمَا»  

[Machine] I said to Ubayy ibn Ka'b, "Indeed, Ibn Mas'ud does not write the Mu'awwidhatayn (Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Nas) in his mushaf (copy of the Quran)." He replied, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, 'Gabriel said to me: "Say, 'I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak.'" So I said it, and Gabriel said to me, 'Say, 'I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind.'" So I said it.' Therefore, we say what the Messenger of Allah said."  

قُلْتُ لِأُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ إِنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ لَا يَكْتُبُ فِي مُصْحَفِهِ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قَالَ لِي جِبْرِيلُ {قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ} فَقُلْتُهَا وَقَالَ لِي {قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ} فَقُلْتُهَا» فَنَحْنُ نَقُولُ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

"The head of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would rest in the lap of one of us when she was menstruating, and he would recite Qur'an." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 274)   

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَضَعُ رَأْسَهُ فِي حِجْرِ إِحْدَانَا فَيَتْلُو الْقُرْآنَ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ»  

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to remember Allah in all of his affairs. (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3384)  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ عَلَى أَحْيَانِهِ»  

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to remember Allah in all of his affairs. (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3384)  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ عَلَى أَحْيَانِهِ»  

Muhajir came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was urinating. He saluted him. The Prophet ﷺ did not return the salutation to him until he performed ablution. He then apologised to him, saying: I disliked remembering Allah except in the state of purification. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 17)   

أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى تَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ اعْتَذَرَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «إِنِّي كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَذْكُرَ اللَّهَ إِلَّا عَلَى طُهْرٍ أَوْ قَالَ عَلَى طَهَارَةٍ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: He who recites the Qur'an in a period less than three days does not understand it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1394)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَفْقَهُ مَنْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ فِي أَقَلَّ مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ»  

[Machine] On the authority of Jundub ibn Abdullah, he said: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Recite the Quran as long as your hearts are in agreement upon it. But when you differ regarding it, then stay away from it."  

عَنْ جُنْدُبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «اقْرَؤُوا الْقُرْآنَ مَا ائْتَلَفَتْ عَلَيْهِ قُلُوبُكُمْ فَإِذَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِيهِ فَقُومُوا عَنْهُ»  

[Machine] About Shu'bah and Mis'ar, Abu Quraysh mentioned another narration with them. On the authority of 'Amr ibn Murrah, who narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Salamah, who narrated from 'Ali, who said, "The Prophet ﷺ was not prevented from reciting the Quran except during a state of sexual impurity."  

عَنْ شُعْبَةَ وَمِسْعَرٍ وَذَكَرَ أَبُو قُرَيْشٍ آخَرَ مَعَهُمَا عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ «كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَا يَحْجُبُهُ عَنْ قِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ مَا خَلَا الْجَنَابَةَ»  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was not prevented from reciting the Quran except when he was in a state of sexual impurity.  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَحْجُبُهُ مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ جُنُبًا»  

[Machine] The people reached a difficult pass or narrow valley. Whenever a man ascended it, he would say, "There is no deity except Allah and Allah is the Greatest," while the Prophet ﷺ would be riding a she-ass and raising it on the mountain. He then said, "O people! You are not calling upon a deaf or absent (deity). Then he said, "O Abu Musa or Abdullah ibn Qais! Shall I not inform you of a treasure from the treasures of Paradise? He said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "There is no power or might except with Allah."  

أَخَذَ الْقَوْمُ فِي عَقَبَةٍ أَوْ ثَنِيَّةٍ فَكُلَّمَا عَلَاهَا رَجُلٌ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ يَعْرِضُهَا فِي الْجَبَلِ فَقَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلَا غَائِبًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَبَا مُوسَى أَوْ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ » قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ»  

"Abdullah bin Yasar the freed slave of Maimunah, and I came and entered upon Abu Juhaim bin Al-Harith bin Al-Sammah Al-Ansari. Abu Juhaim said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came back from the direction of Bi'r Al-jamal and was met by a man who greeted him with Salam, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not return the greeting until he turned to the wall and wiped his face and hands, then he returned the greeting.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 311)  

أَبُو الْجُهَيْمِ أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ نَحْوِ بِئْرِ الْجَمَلِ فَلَقِيَهُ رَجُلٌ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى أَقْبَلَ عَلَى الْجِدَارِ فَمَسَحَ بِوَجْهِهِ وَيَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ رَدَّ السَّلَامَ  

Muhajir came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was urinating. He saluted him. The Prophet ﷺ did not return the salutation to him until he performed ablution. He then apologised to him, saying: I disliked remembering Allah except in the state of purification. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 17)  

أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَبُولُ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى تَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ اعْتَذَرَ فَقَالَ «إِنِّي كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَذْكُرَ اللَّهَ إِلَّا عَلَى طُهْرٍ أَوْ قَالَ عَلَى طَهَارَةٍ»  

the Messenger of Allah (saas) said: "Allah has ninety-nine Names, one hundred less one. Whoever counts them will enter Paradise." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3860)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ لِلَّهِ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ اسْمًا مِائَةً إِلَّا وَاحِدَةً مَنْ أَحْصَاهَا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ»
