Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31995 — Those who disliked earning a living
٣١٩٩٥ - حدثنا إسماعيل بن علية عن الجريري عن أبي نضرة عن أبي فراس قال: قال عمر: قد أتى علي زمان وأنا أحسب من قرأ القرآن يريد به (١) اللَّه، فقد ⦗٤١٣⦘ خيل لي الآن بأخرة أني أرى قوما قد قرأوه يريدون به الناس، فأريدوا اللَّه بقراءتكم، وأريدوا اللَّه بأعمالكم (٢).
Abu Firas said that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: There was a time for me when I assumed that a person recited the Qur'an for the pleasure of Allah. Indeed, it has now occurred to me, at this late stage, that I have seen some people who recited the Qur'an and intended people by it. So seek the pleasure of Allah by your recitation, and seek the pleasure of Allah by your deeds.
