وَبِهِ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ : بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفْدًا إِلَى الْيَمَنِ ، فَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَمِيرًا مِنْهُمْ ، وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُهُمْ ، فَمَكَثَ أَيَّامًا لَمْ يَسِرْ ، فَلَقِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ ، فَقَالَ : يَا فُلَانُ ، مَا لَكَ ، أَمَا انْطَلَقْتَ ؟ I " قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَمِيرُنَا يَشْتَكِي رِجْلَهُ ، فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، إِذْ نَفَثَ عَلَيْهِ : I " بِسْمِ اللهِ وَبِاللهِ ، أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّةِ اللهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِيهَا I " ، سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ ، فَبَرَأَ الرَّجُلُ .
فَقَالَ لَهُ شَيْخٌ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَتُؤَمِّرُهَ عَلَيْنَا وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُنَا ؟ فَذَكَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِرَاءَتَهُ لِلْقُرْآنِ ، فَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، لَوْلَا أَنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ أَتَوَسَّدَهُ فَلَا أَقُومُ بِهِ لَتَعَلَّمْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : I " تَعَلَّمْهُ ، فَإِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الْقُرْآنِ كَجِرَابٍ مَلَأْتَهُ مِسْكًا ، ثُمَّ رَبَطْتَ عَلَى فِيهِ ، فَإِنْ فَتَحْتَ فَاحَ رِيحُ الْمِسْكِ ، وَإِنْ تَرَكْتَهُ كَانَ مِسْكًا مَوْضُوعًا ، كَذَلِكَ مَثَلُ الْقُرْآنِ إِذَا قَرَأْتَهُ ، أَوْ كَانَ فِي صَدْرِكَ I " .
I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَيْنِ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ إِلَّا ابْنُهُ يَحْيَى ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِمَا : إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ صُبَيْحٍ I " .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a delegation to Yemen and appointed one of them as their leader, although he was the youngest of them all. The delegation stayed there for some days and did not set out. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) met one of them and asked: 'O so-and-so! What is the matter with you? Have you not set out yet?' He said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Our leader is suffering from pain in his leg.' So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to him and, blowing over him, recited seven times: 'Bismillahi wa billahi, a'udhu bi-'izzatillahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma fiha' (In the name of Allah and with Allah, I seek refuge in the might of Allah and His power from the evil of what is in it), and the man recovered.
Then an elderly man said to him (peace and blessings be upon him): 'O Messenger of Allah! Have you appointed him as leader over us although he is the youngest of us?' So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned his reciting of the Qur'an (and his knowledge of it). The elder said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Were it not that I fear I would make it a pillow (that is, learn it and then sleep in heedlessness without fulfilling the right of its recitation), I would certainly learn it.' The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: 'Learn it, for the example of the Qur'an is like a bag filled with musk whose mouth you have tied. If you open it, the fragrance of musk will spread, and if you leave it (closed), it is still musk stored away (in its essence). Such is the example of the Qur'an when you recite it, or when it is preserved in your breast.'"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated these two hadiths from Salamah bin Kuhayl except his son Yahya, and Isma'il bin Subayh is alone in narrating them (from him)."
