Hadith 3373
حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: "أَكْثِرُوا تِلَاوَةَ الْقُرْآنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ، قَالُوا: هَذِهِ الْمَصَاحِفُ تُرْفَعُ، فَكَيْفَ بِمَا فِي صُدُورِ الرِّجَالِ ؟ قَالَ: يُسْرَى عَلَيْهِ لَيْلًا فَيُصْبِحُونَ مِنْهُ فُقَرَاءَ، وَيَنْسَوْنَ قَوْلَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَيَقَعُونَ فِي قَوْلِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَأَشْعَارِهِمْ، وَذَلِكَ حِينَ يَقَعُ عَلَيْهِمْ الْقَوْلُ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Recite the Qur'an abundantly before it is taken away. The people asked: These written copies (mushafs) will be taken away, but how will (the Qur'an) be taken away from the hearts of the people? He replied: A night will pass over them in which they will be deprived of it, and they will even forget to say "La ilaha illallah," and they will fall into the sayings and poetry of the Age of Ignorance. And this will happen when the word of Allah comes to pass upon them.
