When we were in Suffa, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out and said: Which of you would like to go out every morning to Buthan or al-'Aqiq and bring two large she-camels without being guilty of sin or without severing the ties of kinship? We said: Messenger of Allah, we would like to do it. Upon this he said: Does not one of you go out in the morning to the mosque and teach or recite two verses from the Book of Allah. the Majestic and Glorious? That is better for him than two she-camels, and three verses are better (than three she-camels). and four verses are better for him than four (she-camels), and to on their number in camels.

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ فِي الصُّفَّةِ فَقَالَ أَيُّكُمْ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَغْدُوَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ إِلَى بُطْحَانَ أَوْ إِلَى الْعَقِيقِ فَيَأْتِيَ مِنْهُ بِنَاقَتَيْنِ كَوْمَاوَيْنِ فِي غَيْرِ إِثْمٍ وَلاَ قَطْعِ رَحِمٍ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نُحِبُّ ذَلِكَ قَالَ أَفَلاَ يَغْدُو أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَيَعْلَمَ أَوْ يَقْرَأَ آيَتَيْنِ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ ﷻ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ نَاقَتَيْنِ وَثَلاَثٌ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ ثَلاَثٍ وَأَرْبَعٌ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَرْبَعٍ وَمِنْ أَعْدَادِهِنَّ مِنَ الإِبِلِ

When we were in the Suffah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked: Which of you would like to go out every morning to Buthan or Al-'Aqiq and bring two large humped and fat she-camels without being guilty of sin and severing ties of relationship ? They (the people) said: Messenger of Allah, we would all like that. He said: If any one of you goes out in the morning to the mosque and learns two verses of the Book of Allah, the Exalted, it is better for him than two she-camels, and three verses are better for him than three she-camels, and so on than their numbers in camels.

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ فِي الصُّفَّةِ فَقَالَ أَيُّكُمْ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَغْدُوَ إِلَى بُطْحَانَ أَوِ الْعَقِيقِ فَيَأْخُذَ نَاقَتَيْنِ كَوْمَاوَيْنِ زَهْرَاوَيْنِ بِغَيْرِ إِثْمٍ بِاللَّهِ ﷻ وَلاَ قَطْعِ رَحِمٍ قَالُوا كُلُّنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَلأَنْ يَغْدُوَ أَحَدُكُمْ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَيَتَعَلَّمَ آيَتَيْنِ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ ﷻ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ نَاقَتَيْنِ وَإِنْ ثَلاَثٌ فَثَلاَثٌ مِثْلُ أَعْدَادِهِنَّ مِنَ الإِبِلِ

(Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1456)

سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ يَقُولُ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا وَنَحْنُ فِي الصُّفَّةِ فَقَالَ أَيُّكُمْ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَغْدُوَ إِلَى بُطْحَانَ أَوِ الْعَقِيقِ فَيَأْتِيَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بِنَاقَتَيْنِ كَوْمَاوَيْنِ زَهْرَاوَيْنِ فَيَأْخُذَهُمَا فِي غَيْرِ إِثْمٍ وَلَا قَطْعِ رَحِمٍ؟ قَالَ قُلْنَا كُلُّنَا يَا رَسُولَاللهِ يُحِبُّ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَلَأَنْ يَغْدُوَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَيَتَعَلَّمَ آيَتَيْنِ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ نَاقَتَيْنِ وَثَلَاثٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ وَأَرْبَعٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَرْبَعٍ وَمِنْ أَعْدَادِهِنَّ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ

[Machine] I heard Uqbah ibn Amir saying: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us while we were in the Sufah and said, "Which one of you would like to go to Buthan or Al-Aqiq and bring back two she-camels that are like Zahrā and Zuhra and take them?" We said, "O Messenger of Allah! All of us would like that." He said, "Shouldn't one of you go to the mosque and learn two verses from the Book of Allah? This is better for him than two she-camels, three is better for him than three, and four is better for him than four. And the number of these days in Mina is equivalent to the number of camels he possesses."

سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ يَقُولُ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ فِي الصُّفَّةِ فَقَالَ «أَيُّكُمْ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَغْدُوَ إِلَى بُطْحَانَ أَوِ الْعَقِيقِ فَيَأْتِيَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بِنَاقَتَيْنِ كَوْمَاوَيْنِ زَهْرَاوَيْنِ وَيَأْخُذَهُمَا؟» قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كُلُّنَا يُحِبُّ ذَلِكَ قَالَ «أَفَلَا يَغْدُو أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَيَتَعَلَمَ آيَتَيْنِ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ نَاقَتَيْنِ وَثَلَاثٌ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ وَأَرْبَعٌ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَرْبَعٍ وَأَعْدَادُهُنَّ أَيَّامُ مِنًى مِنَ الْإِبِلِ»

"أَيُّكُمْ يَغْدُو إِلَى بُطحَانَ أَو العَقيق فَيَأْتى كُلَّ يوْمٍ بِنَاقَتِينِ، كَوْمَاوَيْن زَهْرَاوَين يأخُذهُمَا مِنْ غَيْر إِثْمٍ، وَلَا قَطْع رَحِم؟ قَالُوا: كُلُّنا نُحبُّ ذَلِكَ قَالَ: فَلأَنْ يَغْدُوَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى المَسْجِد فَيَقْرَأ أَوْ يتَعَلَّمَ آيتين مِنْ كتَابِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ ناقَتَيْنِ، وَثَلَاثٌ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ ثَلَاث، وَأَرْبَعٌ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَرْبَعٍ، وَمِنْ أَعْدَادِهِنَّ مِنَ الإِبِلِ".
