موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب القرآنBook: On the Explanation of the Quran
بَابُ الْأَمْرِ بِالْوُضُوءِ لِمَنْ مَسَّ الْقُرْآنَChapter on the command to perform ablution for one who touches the Qur'an
Hadith 469B1
قَالَ مَالِك : وَلَا يَحْمِلُ أَحَدٌ الْمُصْحَفَ بِعِلَاقَتِهِ وَلَا عَلَى وِسَادَةٍ إِلَّا وَهُوَ طَاهِرٌ ، وَلَوْ جَازَ ذَلِكَ لَحُمِلَ فِي خَبِيئَتِهِ ، وَلَمْ يُكْرَهْ ذَلِكَ إِلا أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي يَدَيِ الَّذِي يَحْمِلُهُ شَيْءٌ يُدَنِّسُ بِهِ الْمُصْحَفَ ، وَلَكِنْ إِنَّمَا كُرِهَ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ يَحْمِلُهُ وَهُوَ غَيْرُ طَاهِرٍ ، إِكْرَامًا لِلْقُرْآنِ وَتَعْظِيمًا لَهُ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that no person should pick up the Book of Allah by holding its strap or by placing it on a cushion except in a state of ablution. If it were permissible to pick it up without ablution by holding its strap or placing it on a cushion, then it would also be permissible to touch the cover without ablution. And touching the Book of Allah without ablution is disliked because it is against its greatness and dignity, not because there is any impurity on the hand of the one picking it up that might get onto the Mushaf.
