مُسْنَدُ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ
Musnad of Uqbah bin Amir al-Juhani
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1740 — he said: We were sitting in the mosque
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا قَبَاثُ بْنُ رَزِينٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عُلَيَّ بْنَ رَبَاحٍ اللَّخْمِيَّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ ، يَقُولُ : كُنَّا جُلُوسًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ نَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَقَالَ : تَعَلَّمُوا كِتَابَ اللهِ وَأَفْشُوهُ ، قَالَ قَبَاثٌ : حَسِبْتُهُ قَالَ : وَتَغَنَّوْا بِهِ ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَهُوَ أَشَدُّ تَفَلُّتًا مِنَ الْعِشَارِ مِنَ الْعُقُلِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We were sitting in the mosque reciting the Noble Qur'an when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said: "Learn the Book of Allah and spread it." Qabath (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I think he (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: "And recite it in a beautiful voice. By the One in whose Hand is my soul, this Qur'an escapes (from the memory) faster than she-camels break loose from the ropes that tie them."
