حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ مَعْرُوفٌ بِابْنِ كُرْدِيٍّ قَالَ: نَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ قَالَ: نَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: نَا سَعِيدٌ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي أَحْمَدَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ:
بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْثًا وَهُمْ ذَوُو عُدَّةٍ، فَاسْتَقْرَأَ كُلَّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمُ الْقُرْآنَ، أَوْ قَالَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، فَأَتَى عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَحْدَثِهِمْ سِنًّا فَقَالَ: مَاذَا مَعَكَ يَا فُلَانُ ؟ قَالَ: مَعِي كَذَا وَكَذَا وَسُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ قَالَ: مَعَكَ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ قَالَ: فَاذْهَبْ - أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: - فَأَنْتَ أَمِيرُهُمْ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا مَنَعَنِي أَنْ أَتَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ إِلَّا خَشْيَةَ أَنْ لَا أَقُومَ بِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: اقْرَءُوهُ وَارْقُدُوا عَلَيْهِ، فَإِنَّ مَثَلَ الْقُرْآنِ لِمَنْ تَعَلَّمَهُ فَقَرَأَهُ وَقَامَ بِهِ كَمَثَلِ جِرَابٍ مَحْشُوٍّ يَفُوحُ رِيحُهُ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ، وَمَثَلُ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَهُ وَرَقَدَ وَهُوَ فِي جَوْفِهِ كَمَثَلِ جِرَابٍ أُوكِيَ عَلَى مِسْكٍ

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ sent out an expedition, and they were men of military strength. He made each man among them recite the Quran — or he said: from the Quran. He came to a man who was the youngest of them in age and said: 'What do you have with you, O so-and-so?' He said: 'I have such-and-such and Surah al-Baqarah.' He said: 'You have Surah al-Baqarah with you?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then go — I think he said: — for you are their commander.' A man said: 'By God, O Messenger of God, nothing prevented me from learning the Quran except fear that I might not act upon it.' The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'Recite it and sleep upon it, for the example of the Quran for one who learns it, recites it, and acts upon it is like a sack filled with musk whose fragrance spreads everywhere. And the example of one who learns it but sleeps while it is in his heart is like a sack tied over musk.'

إسحاق بن عبد الواحد لا أعرفه وقد رواه غير عبد الحميد بن جعفر فأرسله والمشهور مرسل
machine translationIsḥāq b. ʿAbd al-Wāḥid: I do not know him. Someone other than ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd b. Jaʿfar has narrated it and transmitted it as a mursal report, and the well-known version is mursal.

اختلف فيه على المقبري فرواه عمر بن طلحة بن عمرو بن علقمة ابن أخي محمد بن عمرو بن علقمة عن المقبري عن أبي هريرة وخالفه عبد الحميد بن جعفر فرواه عن المقبري عن عطاء مولى أبي أحمد عن أبي هريرة ورواه الليث بن سعد عن المقبري عن عطاء مولى أبي أحمد مرسلا لم يذكر أبا هريرة وقول الليث أشبه بالصواب حدثنا النيسابوري ثنا محمد بن إسحاق الصاغاني قال سمعت يحيى بن معين يقول أثبت الناس في سعيد الليث بن سعد
machine translationThere was disagreement about it on the authority of al-Maqburī. ʿUmar b. Ṭalḥah b. ʿAmr b. ʿAlqamah, the nephew of Muḥammad b. ʿAmr b. ʿAlqamah, narrated it from al-Maqburī, from Abū Hurayrah. ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd b. Jaʿfar contradicted him and narrated it from al-Maqburī, from ʿAṭāʾ, the freed slave of Abū Aḥmad, from Abū Hurayrah. And al-Layth b. Saʿd narrated it from al-Maqburī, from ʿAṭāʾ, the freed slave of Abū Aḥmad, as a mursal report, without mentioning Abū Hurayrah. The statement of al-Layth is closer to being correct. Al-Naysābūrī narrated to us: Muḥammad b. Isḥāq al-Ṣāghānī narrated to us, he said: I heard Yaḥyā b. Maʿīn say: The most reliable of people regarding Saʿīd is al-Layth b. Saʿd.
