حَدَّثَنَا
عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا
حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ
عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ، عَنْ
مُغِيثٍ، عَنْ
كَعْبٍ، قَالَ:
"عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْقُرْآنِ، فَإِنَّهُ فَهْمُ الْعَقْلِ، وَنُورُ الْحِكْمَةِ، وَيَنَابِيعُ الْعِلْمِ، وَأَحْدَثُ الْكُتُبِ بِالرَّحْمَنِ عَهْدًا، وَقَالَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، إِنِّي مُنَزِّلٌ عَلَيْكَ تَوْرَاةً حَدِيثَةً، تَفْتَحُ فِيهَا أَعْيُنًا عُمْيًا، وَآذَانًا صُمًّا، وَقُلُوبًا غُلْفًا".
Sayyiduna Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Hold fast to the Qur'an, for it gives understanding to the intellect, it is the light of wisdom, the source of knowledge, and among the books that bring one close to Allah, it is the newest. In the Torah, Allah Almighty addressed (saying): O Muhammad! I am going to send down upon you the Torah as a new book, by which closed eyes, deaf ears, and hearts covered with heedless veils will be opened.
