47. Virtues of the Qur'ān
٤٧۔ كِتَابُ فَضَائِلِ الْقُرْآنِ
that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever says (something) about the Qur'an without knowledge, then let him take his seat in the Fire." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2950)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَالَ مَخْلَدٌ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ قَالَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ»
that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever says (something) about the Qur'an without knowledge, then let him take his seat in the Fire." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2950)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ بِرَأْيِهِ أَوْ بِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُ فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ
The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone interprets the Book of Allah in the light of his opinion even if he is right, he has erred. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3652)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ قَالَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ بِرَأْيِهِ فَأَصَابَ فَقَدْ أَخْطَأَ»
Muhammad, do justice. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Woe be upon thee, who would do justice if I do not do justice, and you would be very unfortunate and a loser if I do not do justice. Upon this Umar b. Khattab (Allah be pleased with him) said: Permit me to kill this hypocrite. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: May there be protection of Allah! People would say that I kill my companions. This man and his companions would recite the Qur'an but it would not go beyond their throat, and they swerve from it just as the arrow goes through the prey. (Using translation from Muslim 1063a)
أَتَى رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْجِعْرَانَةِ مُنْصَرَفَهُ مِنْ حُنَيْنٍ وَفِي ثَوْبِ بِلَالٍ فِضَّةٌ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْبِضُ مِنْهَا وَيُعْطِي النَّاسَ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ اعْدِلْ قَالَ «وَيْلَكَ وَمَنْ يَعْدِلُ إِذَا لَمْ أَعْدِلْ لَقَدْ خِبْتَ وَخَسِرْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْدِلُ» فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ «دَعْنِي أَقْتَلُ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقَ» قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللهِ أَنْ يَتَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ أَنِّي أَقْتُلُ أَصْحَابِي إِنَّ هَذَا وَأَصْحَابَهُ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنْهُ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ

وَسَمِعَتْ أُذُنَايَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْجِعْرَانَةِ وَفِي ثَوْبِ بِلَالٍ فِضَّةٌ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْبِضُهَا لِلنَّاسِ فَيُعْطِيهُمْ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اعْدِلْ قَالَ «وَيْلَكَ وَمَنْ يَعْدِلُ إِذَا لَمْ أَعْدِلْ لَقَدْ خَبْتَ وَخَسِرْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْدِلُ» فَقَالَ عُمَرُ دَعْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَأَقْتُلُ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَنْ يَتَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ أَنِّي أَقْتُلُ أَصْحَابِي إِنَّ هَذَا وَأَصْحَابَهُ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ حُلُوقَهُمْ وَحَنَاجِرَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ مُرُوقَ السَّهْمِ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ»
I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "There will appear some people among you whose prayer will make you look down upon yours, and whose fasting will make you look down upon yours, but they will recite the Qur'an which will not exceed their throats (they will not act on it) and they will go out of Islam as an arrow goes out through the game whereupon the archer would examine the arrowhead but see nothing, and look at the unfeathered arrow but see nothing, and look at the arrow feathers but see nothing, and finally he suspects to find something in the lower part of the arrow." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5058)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَخْرُجُ قَوْمٌ تَحْقِرُونَ صَلَاتَكُمْ مَعَ صَلَاتِهِمْ وَصِيَامَكُمْ مَعَ صِيَامِهِمْ وَعَمَلَكُمْ مَعَ عَمَلِهِمْ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ مُرُوقَ السَّهْمِ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ يَنْظُرُ فِي النَّصْلِ فَلَا يَرَى شَيْئًا ثُمَّ يَنْظُرُ فِي الْقَدَحِ فَلَا يَرَى شَيْئًا ثُمَّ يَنْظُرُ فِي الرِّيشِ فَلَا يَرَى شَيْئًا وَيَتَمَادَى فِي الْفُوقِ»
[Machine] I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding the Haruriyyah sect, he said, "Shall I inform you of what I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? I will not add anything to it. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he struck his hand towards the west, saying, 'A group will emerge from here who recite the Qur'an, but it will not go beyond their throats. They will pass through the religion as an arrow passes through its target.'"
سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْحَرُورِيَّةِ قَالَ أُخْبِرُكُ مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ نَحْوَ الْمَغْرِبِ قَالَ «يَخْرُجُ مِنْ هَاهُنَا قَوْمٌ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ»
