كتاب فضائل القرآن
The Book of the Virtues of the Qur'an
(لَا يَجِبُ قِرَاءَةُ الْقُرْآنِ لِلطَّعَامِ وَالشَّرَابِ)
(The Quran should not be read for eating or drinking purposes)
Hadith 2217
عَن بُرَيْدَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ يَتَأَكَّلُ بِهِ النَّاسَ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَوَجْهُهُ عظم لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ لحم» . رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيّ فِي شعب الْإِيمَان
Buraida reported God’s messenger as saying, “If anyone recites the Qur’ān seeking thereby to get a living from people, he will come on the day of resurrection with his face as a fleshless bone.” Baihaqi transmitted it in Shu’ab al-īmān.
