أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ بِحَرَّانَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ كُرَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْأَجْلَحِ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْقُرْآنُ مُشَفَّعٌ وَمَا حِلٌ مُصَدَّقٌ مَنْ جَعَلَهُ إِمَامَهُ قَادَهُ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَمَنْ جَعَلَهُ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ سَاقَهُ إِلَى النَّارِ»
