حَدَّثَنَا
جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، حَدَّثَنَا
إِبْرَاهِيمُ هُوَ الْهَجَرِيُّ، عَنْ
أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ:
"إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ مَأْدُبَةُ اللَّهِ، فَتَعَلَّمُوا مِنْ مَأْدُبَتِهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ، إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ حَبْلُ اللَّهِ، وَالنُّورُ الْمُبِينُ، وَالشِّفَاءُ النَّافِعُ، عِصْمَةٌ لِمَنْ تَمَسَّكَ بِهِ، وَنَجَاةٌ لِمَنْ اتَّبَعَهُ، لَا يَزِيغُ فَيَسْتَعْتِبُ، وَلَا يَعْوَجُّ فَيُقَوَّمُ، وَلَا تَنْقَضِي عَجَائِبُهُ، وَلَا يَخْلَقُ عَنْ كَثْرَةِ الرَّدِّ، فَاتْلُوهُ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْجُرُكُمْ عَلَى تِلَاوَتِهِ بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ، أَمَا إِنِّي لَا أَقُولُ ( الم ) وَلَكِنْ بِأَلِفٍ، وَلَامٍ، وَمِيمٍ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Verily, this Qur'an is the banquet of Allah, so acquire as much knowledge from His banquet as you can. Indeed, this Noble Qur'an is the rope of Allah, light, healing, and beneficial. Whoever holds fast to it, for him it is a means (of protection from sins), and whoever follows it, for him it is salvation. Whoever walks upon it will not go astray so that he would need to seek approval, nor will he be crooked so that he would need to be straightened. Its wonders will never cease, and it will not become old by repeated recitation. Recite it, for indeed Allah the Exalted will reward you for its recitation; for every letter, there are ten good deeds. I do not say that "Alif Lam Meem" is one letter, but rather Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter, and Meem is a letter.
