Whoever said that the Prophet (ﷺ) did not leave anything after his death
Narrated `Abdul `Aziz bin Rufai':
Shaddad bin Ma'qil and I entered upon Ibn `Abbas. Shaddad bin Ma'qil asked him, "Did the Prophet (ﷺ)
leave anything (besides the Qur'an)?" He replied. "He did not leave anything except what is Between
the two bindings (of the Qur'an)." Then we visited Muhammad bin Al-Hanafiyya and asked him (the
same question). He replied, "The Prophet (ﷺ) did not leave except what is between the bindings (of the
Qur'an).
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ رُفَيْعٍ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَشَدَّادُ بْنُ مَعْقِلٍ عَلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رضى الله عنهما فَقَالَ لَهُ شَدَّادُ بْنُ مَعْقِلٍ أَتَرَكَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ شَىْءٍ قَالَ مَا تَرَكَ إِلاَّ مَا بَيْنَ الدَّفَّتَيْنِ قَالَ وَدَخَلْنَا عَلَى مُحَمَّدِ ابْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ مَا تَرَكَ إِلاَّ مَا بَيْنَ الدَّفَّتَيْنِ
The superiority of the Qur'an above other kinds of speech
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The example of him (a believer) who recites the Qur'an is like that of a citron
which tastes good and smells good. And he (a believer) who does not recite the Qur'an is like a date
which is good in taste but has no smell. And the example of a dissolute wicked person who recites the
Qur'an is like the Raihana (sweet basil) which smells good but tastes bitter. And the example of a
dissolute wicked person who does not recite the Qur'an is like the colocynth which tastes bitter and
has no smell.
حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ أَبُو خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسٌ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَالأُتْرُجَّةِ طَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَرِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَالَّذِي لاَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَالتَّمْرَةِ طَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَلاَ رِيحَ لَهَا وَمَثَلُ الْفَاجِرِ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَثَلِ الرَّيْحَانَةِ رِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَطَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ وَمَثَلُ الْفَاجِرِ الَّذِي لاَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَثَلِ الْحَنْظَلَةِ طَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ وَلاَ رِيحَ لَهَا
The superiority of the Qur'an above other kinds of speech
Narrated Ibn `Umar:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Your life in comparison to the lifetime of the past nations is like the period
between the time of `Asr prayer and sunset. Your example and the example of the Jews and Christians
is that of person who employed laborers and said to them, "Who will work for me till the middle of
the day for one Qirat (a special weight)?' The Jews did. He then said, "Who will work for me from the
middle of the day till the `Asr prayer for one Qirat each?" The Christians worked accordingly. Then
you (Muslims) are working from the `Asr prayer till the Maghrib prayer for two Qirats each. They (the
Jews and the Christians) said, 'We did more labor but took less wages.' He (Allah) said, 'Have I
wronged you in your rights?' They replied, 'No.' Then He said, 'This is My Blessing which I give to
whom I wish."
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى عَنْ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دِينَارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَجَلُكُمْ فِي أَجَلِ مَنْ خَلاَ مِنَ الأُمَمِ كَمَا بَيْنَ صَلاَةِ الْعَصْرِ وَمَغْرِبِ الشَّمْسِ وَمَثَلُكُمْ وَمَثَلُ الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اسْتَعْمَلَ عُمَّالاً فَقَالَ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ لِي إِلَى نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ فَعَمِلَتِ الْيَهُودُ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ لِي مِنْ نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ إِلَى الْعَصْرِ فَعَمِلَتِ النَّصَارَى ثُمَّ أَنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ مِنَ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى الْمَغْرِبِ بِقِيرَاطَيْنِ قِيرَاطَيْنِ قَالُوا نَحْنُ أَكْثَرُ عَمَلاً وَأَقَلُّ عَطَاءً قَالَ هَلْ ظَلَمْتُكُمْ مِنْ حَقِّكُمْ قَالُوا لاَ قَالَ فَذَاكَ فَضْلِي أُوتِيهِ مَنْ شِئْتُ
To recommend the Book of Allah عز وجل
Narrated Talha:
I asked `Abdullah bin Abi `Aufa, "Did the Prophet (ﷺ) make a will (to appoint his successor or bequeath
wealth)?" He replied, "No." I said, "How is it prescribed then for the people to make wills, and they
are ordered to do so while the Prophet (ﷺ) did not make any will?" He said, "He made a will wherein he
recommended Allah's Book."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى أَوْصَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ لاَ فَقُلْتُ كَيْفَ كُتِبَ عَلَى النَّاسِ الْوَصِيَّةُ أُمِرُوا بِهَا وَلَمْ يُوصِ قَالَ أَوْصَى بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ
Whoever does not recite the Qur'an in a pleasant tone
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah does not listen to a prophet as He listens to a prophet who recites the
Qur'an in a pleasant tone." The companion of the sub-narrator (Abu Salama) said, "It means, reciting
it aloud."
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَمْ يَأْذَنِ اللَّهُ لِشَىْءٍ مَا أَذِنَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَتَغَنَّى بِالْقُرْآنِ وَقَالَ صَاحِبٌ لَهُ يُرِيدُ يَجْهَرُ بِهِ
Whoever does not recite the Qur'an in a pleasant tone
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) I said, "Allah does not listen to a prophet as He listens to a prophet who recites the
Qur'an in a loud and pleasant tone." Sufyan said, "This saying means: a prophet who regards the
Qur'an as something that makes him dispense with many worldly pleasures."
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ مَا أَذِنَ اللَّهُ لِشَىْءٍ مَا أَذِنَ لِلنَّبِيِّ أَنْ يَتَغَنَّى بِالْقُرْآنِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ تَفْسِيرُهُ يَسْتَغْنِي بِهِ

the Qur'an and he recites it during the hours of the night and during the hours of the day, and his
neighbor listens to him and says, 'I wish I had been given what has been given to so-and-so, so that I
might do what he does; and a man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it on what is just and
right, whereupon an other man May say, 'I wish I had been given what so-and-so has been given, for
then I would do what he does."

her to me." The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "Give her a garment." The man said, "I cannot afford it." The
Prophet said, "Give her anything, even if it were an iron ring." The man apologized again. The
Prophet then asked him, "What do you know by heart of the Qur'an?" He replied, "I know such-andsuch
portion of the Qur'an (by heart)." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then I marry her to you for that much of the
Qur'an which you know by heart."

The recitation of the Qur'an by heart
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d:
A lady came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger! I have come to you to offer myself to
you." He raised his eyes and looked at her and then lowered his head. When the lady saw that he did
not make any decision, she sat down. On that, a man from his companions got up and said. "O Allah's
Apostle! If you are not in need of this woman, then marry her to me." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Do you
have anything to offer her?" He replied. "No, by Allah, O Allah's Messenger!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him,
"Go to your family and see if you can find something.' The man went and returned, saying, "No, by
Allah, O Allah's Messenger! I have not found anything." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Try to find something, even
if it is an iron ring.'' He went again and returned, saying, "No, by Allah, O Allah's Messenger, not even
an iron ring, but I have this waist sheet of mine." The man had no upper garment, so he intended to
give her, half his waist sheet. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, ''What would she do with your waist sheet? If
you wear it, she will have nothing of it over her body, and if she wears it, you will have nothing over
your body." So that man sat for a long period and then got up, and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw him going
away, so he ordered somebody to call him. When he came, the Prophet (ﷺ) asked him, " How much of the
Qur'an do you know?" He replied, "I know such Surat and such Surat and such Surat," and went on
counting it, The Prophet (ﷺ) asked him, "Can you recite it by heart?" he replied, "Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Go, I have married this lady to you for the amount of the Qur'an you know by heart."
