Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 912

وَعَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " لَأَنْ أَقْعُدَ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْمَجْلِسِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُعْتِقَ أَرْبَعَ رِقَابٍ " . قَالَ شُعْبَةُ : فَقُلْتُ : أَيَّ مَجْلِسٍ يَعْنِي ؟ قَالَ : كَانَ قَاصًّا .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَفِيهِ كُرْدُوسُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ ، وَثَّقَهُ ابْنُ حِبَّانَ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
It is reported from one of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with him) who were among the people of Badr that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "For me to sit in a gathering like this is dearer to me than freeing four slaves." The narrator Shu'bah says: I asked: "Which gathering did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mean?" He replied: "(It was a gathering of) storytelling (that is, preaching)."
Ahmad recorded it; its chain contains the narrator Kurdus bin Qays, whom Ibn Hibban declared trustworthy, and its remaining narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
