It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that, in explanation of this saying of Allah Almighty: "Say: It is by the bounty of Allah and by His mercy, so in that let them rejoice; it is far better than what they accumulate," he said: "The bounty of Allah is the Qur'an, and His mercy is that He made you among the people of the Qur'an."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Hajjaj except Abu Malik al-Janbi."
