nasai-kubra:8696ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAbd al-Ṣamad > Isḥāq b. ʿAbd al-Wāḥid > al-Muʿāfá b. ʿImrān > ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd b. Jaʿfar > Saʿīd al-Maqburī > ʿAṭāʾ a freed slave of Abū Aḥmad > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] I heard Abu Huraira say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a delegation and called them, and he would say to a man, "What do you have from the Qur'an, O so-and-so?" The man would say such and such, and he would recite it to them until he came to a man among them who was one of their youngest in age. He said, "What do you have, O so-and-so?" He said such and such and he had Surah Al-Baqarah. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Do you have Surah Al-Baqarah?" He said, "Yes." He said, "Then go, for you are their leader." A man from their noble elite said, "By Allah, nothing prevented me from learning the Qur'an except fear that I would sleep and not perform it (i.e., not implement it)." So the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Learn the Qur'an, recite it, and sleep, for the likeness of the Qur'an for whoever learned it and recited it and acted upon it, is like a bag full of musk, Its fragrance spreads in every direction. And the likeness of the one who learned it and slept while it was in his belly is like a bag of musk, tied up and placed in a (closed) place." Abu 'Abdul-Rahman Ishaq bin 'Abdul-Wahid said: I do not know him (i.e.,I do not know who this person is), and Abdullah bin 'Abdus-Samad narrated to us from Al-Mu'afa bin 'Imran in a narration other than that which we have mentioned, and we have only mentioned it to establish a connection between him (i.e.,Al-Mu'afa) and Mu'afa, and this narration was also narrated by other than 'Abdul-Hameed bin Ja'far, so he sent it (to Imam Ahmad). And the famous narration is that which is Mursal (i.e., without a companion).

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Verily, in Quraish, no one opposes them except Allah humiliates him as long as they uphold the religion."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ فِي قُرَيْشٍ لَا يُعَادِيهِمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا أَكَبَّهُ اللهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ مَا أَقَامُوا الدِّينَ»
