وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي شُرَيْحٍ الْخُزَاعِيِّ ؓ قَالَ:
خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: « أَبْشِرُوا، أَلَيْسَ تَشْهَدُونَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ ؟ » قَالُوا: نَعَمْ. قَالَ ﷺ: « فَإِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ سَبَبٌ؛ طَرَفُهُ بِيَدِ اللهِ تَعَالَى وَطَرَفُهُ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ، فَتَمَسَّكُوا بِهِ، فَإِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَضِلُّوا وَلَنْ تَهْلِكُوا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us and said: “Rejoice! Do you not testify that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah?” They said: “Yes.” He ﷺ said: “This Qur’an is a rope, one end of it is in the hand of Allah, the Exalted, and the other end is in your hands. Hold fast to it, for you will never go astray or perish after it, ever.”
