حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنَا قَبَاثُ بْنُ رَزِينٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُلَيَّ بْنَ رَبَاحٍ اللَّخْمِيَّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ، يَقُولُ:
كُنَّا جُلُوسًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ نَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: تَعَلَّمُوا كِتَابَ اللهِ وَأَفْشُوهُ، قَالَ قَبَاثٌ: حَسِبْتُهُ قَالَ: وَتَغَنَّوْا بِهِ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَهُوَ أَشَدُّ تَفَلُّتًا مِنَ الْعِشَارِ مِنَ الْعُقُلِ

✧ We were sitting in the mosque reciting the Qur'an, when the Messenger of God ﷺ entered upon us and said: "Learn the Book of God and spread it." Qabath said: I think he also said: "and chant it. For by the One in whose hand is my soul, it slips away faster than untethered camels."
