It is narrated from Ubaid bin Al-Hasan that Mus'ab bin Zubair distributed some wealth among the reciters of Kufa at the beginning of Ramadan, and sent two thousand dirhams to Abdur Rahman bin Ma'qil and said: Take help from this wealth in this blessed month. But Abdur Rahman bin Ma'qil returned those dirhams and said: We do not recite the Qur'an for this (worldly gain).
