And he said: "﴿[This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you that they might reflect upon its verses﴾, and reflecting upon its verses is nothing but following it with knowledge. By Allah, it is not about memorizing its letters while wasting its limits, to the point that one of them says: By Allah, I have recited the entire Qur'an and I have not omitted a single letter from it, but he has omitted all of it. You do not see for him in the Qur'an any character or action. Even one of them says: By Allah, I recite a surah in a single breath. By Allah, these are not the reciters, nor the scholars, nor the wise, nor the pious. When did the reciters ever say such a thing? May Allah not increase the likes of these among the Muslims."

Abu Ishaq said: And Abu 'Ubaydah informed me that when Ibn Mas'ud woke up in the morning and went out, people came to his house, and he would say: 'Stay where you are.' Then he would pass by those whom he was teaching the Qur'an and say: 'O so-and-so, which surah are you on?' They would tell him, and he would say: 'Which verse?' and he would prompt him with the following verse, then say: 'Learn it, for it is better for you than what is between the heaven and the earth.' He said: So the man would think that there is no verse in the Qur'an better than it. Then he would pass by another and say the same to him, until he had said that to all of them.

     ✧ The Quran will come on the Day of Resurrection in the form of a pale, estranged person and will say to its companion: Do you recognize me? He will say: Who are you? It will say: I am your intimate friend, your bedfellow, your compassionate companion, the one who kept you awake at night and wearied you by day, and who went with you wherever you went. Every trader has obtained from his trade, and today I am for you behind every trader. He will be given sovereignty in his right hand and eternity in his left hand, and the crown of dignity will be placed on his head, and it will be said to him: Go in lasting bliss. His parents will be clothed in two garments that the world could never have provided for them. They will say: Why this, when we did not act for it? It will be said: Because your son took to the Quran. Then it will be said: Recite and ascend. Whoever used to recite it carefully will be according to that, and whoever used to recite it quickly will be according to that.

     ✧ This Quran is the banquet of Allah, so learn from His banquet as much as you can. This Quran is the rope of Allah that He has commanded, and it is the clear light and the beneficial healing—a protection for those who hold fast to it and a salvation for those who cling to it. It does not bend so as to be straightened, nor does it deviate so as to be corrected. Its wonders never cease, and it does not wear out from repetition. Recite it, for Allah will reward you for every letter with ten good deeds. I do not say that alif lam mim is one letter, but alif is a letter, lam is a letter, and mim is a letter.

     ✧ Everything has a hump, and the hump of the Quran is Surah al-Baqarah. In it is a verse that is the mistress of the verses of the Quran: the Verse of the Throne. It is not recited in a house in which there is a devil except that he leaves.

Then they sat at his belly, and it said: You have no way against him; he contained Surat al-Mulk within me. So it was named al-Mani'ah (the Protector).

     أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ، فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ أَتَى عَلَيَّ زَمَانٌ وَنَحْنُ نَرَى أَنَّ أَحَدًا لَا يَتَعَلَّمُ كِتَابَ اللهِ تَعَالَى إِلَّا وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ بِهِ اللهَ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ هَاهُنَا بِأَخَرَةٍ ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ نَاسًا يَتَعَلَّمُونَ الْقُرْآنَ وَهُمْ يُرِيدُونَ بِهِ النَّاسَ وَمَا عِنْدَهُمْ، فَأَرِيدُوا اللهَ بِأَعْمَالِكُمْ وَقِرَاءَتِكُمْ، فَإِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَعْرِفُكُمْ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِينَا، وَالْوَحْيُ يَنْزِلُ وَيُنَبِّئُنَا مِنْ أَخْبَارِكُمْ، وَأَمَّا الْيَوْمَ فَإِنَّمَا أَعْرِفُكُمْ بِأَقْوَالِكُمْ، مَنْ أَعْلَنَ لَنَا خَيْرًا ظَنَنَّا بِهِ خَيْرًا وَأَحْبَبْنَاهُ عَلَيْهِ، وَمَنْ أَعْلَنَ لَنَا شَرًّا ظَنَنَّا بِهِ شَرًّا وَأَبْغَضْنَاهُ عَلَيْهِ، سَرَائِرُكُمْ فِيمَا بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ اللهِ

     ✧ Umar b. al-Khattab addressed the people and said: A time passed over us when we thought that no one learned the Book of Allah, exalted is He, except wanting Allah by it, until when it came to this later time, I thought that some people learn the Quran wanting by it the people and what they have. So intend Allah by your deeds and your recitation. We used to know you while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was among us and revelation was descending and informing us of your news. As for today, I only know you by your statements. Whoever shows us good, we think good of him and love him for it, and whoever shows us evil, we think evil of him and hate him for it. Your secrets are between you and Allah.

     ✧ When revelation descended upon the Prophet ﷺ, a sound like the buzzing of bees was heard near his face. It descended upon him and we remained for an hour. He faced the qiblah and raised his hands and said: “O Allah, increase us and do not decrease us, honor us and do not humiliate us, give us and do not deprive us, prefer us and do not prefer others over us, and be pleased with us.” Then he said: “Ten verses were sent down to me; whoever establishes them will enter Paradise.” Then he recited to us “The believers have certainly succeeded” until he completed the ten.
