٣٢٠٠٣ - حدثنا ابن نمير قال: حدثنا أبان بن إسحاق قال: حدثني رجل من بجيلة قال: خرج جندب البجلي في سفر له قال: فخرج معه ناس من قومه، حتى إذا كانوا بالمكان الذي يودع بعضهم بعضًا، قال: أي قوم، عليكم بتقوى اللَّه، عليكم بهذا القرآن فالزموه على ما كان من جهد وفاقة، فإنه نور بالليل المظلم وهدى بالنهار (١).
A person from the tribe of Bajila narrates that Hazrat Jundub Bajali set out on a journey. The narrator says that some people from his tribe were also with him. Until they reached such a place that some people began bidding farewell to others. He said: O people! Hold fast to the fear of Allah. This Qur'an is obligatory upon you, so adhere to it. For the person who is in hardship and hunger, this Qur'an is a source of light in the dark night and a means of true guidance.
