Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 6443

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ : بَيْنَا نَحْنُ نَقْرَأُ فِينَا الْعَرَبِيُّ ، وَالْعَجَمِيُّ ، وَالْأَسْوَدُ وَالْأَبْيَضُ إِذْ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " أَنْتُمْ بِخَيْرٍ تَقْرَءُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ ، وَفِيكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَسَيَأْتِي نَاسٌ يَثْقَفُونَهُ كَمَا يَثْقَفُونَ الْقَدَحَ ، يَتَعَجَّلُونَ أُجُورَهُمْ وَلَا يَتَأَجَّلُونَهَا " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَفِيهِ ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، وَحَدِيثُهُ حَسَنٌ ، وَفِيهِ كَلَامٌ .
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once we were reciting the Qur'an; among us were a non-Arab, an Arab, a black man and a white man. Meanwhile the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to us and said: "You are in the best of states: you are reciting the Book of Allah, and the Messenger of Allah is among you. Soon people will come who will shape and polish it as a cup is shaped and polished; they will take its reward hastily (that is, in this world) and will not wish to take it later (that is, in the Hereafter)."
Ahmad recorded it; its chain contains Ibn Lahi'ah, whose hadith is hasan (good), though he has been criticised.
