أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنَا حَبَّانُ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ يَقُولُ
خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ فِي الصُّفَّةِ فَقَالَ «أَيُّكُمْ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَغْدُوَ إِلَى بُطْحَانَ أَوِ الْعَقِيقِ فَيَأْتِيَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بِنَاقَتَيْنِ كَوْمَاوَيْنِ زَهْرَاوَيْنِ يَأْخُذُهُمَا فِي غَيْرِ إِثْمٍ وَلَا قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ؟ » قَالُوا كُلُّنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يُحِبُّ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَلَأَنْ يَغْدُوَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَيَتَعَلَّمَ آيَتَيْنِ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ نَاقَتَيْنِ وَثَلَاثٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ وَأَرْبَعٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عِدَادِهِنَّ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us while we were in the shaded portico (al-ṣuffa) and said: “Which of you would love to go out every morning to Buṭḥān or al-ʿAqīq and bring back two large-humped, fat she-camels, taking them without committing any sin or severing ties of kinship?” They said: “All of us, O Messenger of Allah, would love that.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “If one of you goes to the mosque and learns two verses from the Book of Allah, that is better for him than two she-camels; three verses are better than three; and four verses are better than the same number of camels.”
