Hadith 34647
٣٤٦٤٧ - حدثنا ابن أبي عدي عن عوف (١) عن خليد العصري قال: لما ورد علينا سلمان أتيناه لنستقرئه فقال: إن القرآن عربي فاستقرؤه عربيًا، فكان زيد بن صوحان يقرئنا، فإذا أخطأ أخذ عليه سلمان، وإذا أصاب قال: أيم اللَّه (٢).
Hazrat Khalid al-Asri, may Allah have mercy on him, says that when Hazrat Salman, may Allah be pleased with him, came to us, we went to him so that we could learn the Holy Qur'an from him. He, may Allah be pleased with him, said: Surely the Qur'an is in Arabic. So you should learn it from an Arab. Thus, Hazrat Zaid bin Suhan, may Allah have mercy on him, used to teach us. When he made a mistake, Hazrat Salman, may Allah be pleased with him, would catch him on the mistake. And when he corrected it, he, may Allah be pleased with him, would say: By Allah! That is how it is.
