وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، ثَنَا لَيْثٌ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ قَالَ:
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَّ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ ؓ وَهُمْ جُلُوسٌ يَنْتَظِرُونَهُ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَجَلَسَ فَقَالَ: « أَلَسْتُمْ تَشْهَدُونَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَتَشْهَدُونَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ، وَتَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ؟ » قَالُوا: بَلَى نَشْهَدُ عَلَى هَذَا. قَالَ ﷺ: « أَبْشِرُوا فَإِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ سَبَبٌ مِنَ اللهِ تَعَالَى طَرَفُهُ بِيَدِ اللهِ تَعَالَى، وَطَرَفُهُ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ، فَاسْتَمْسِكُوا بِهِ، لَا تَضِلُّوا وَلَا تَهْلِكُوا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by his companions ؓ while they were sitting waiting for him. When he came out, he stood over them and sat down, then said: “Do you not testify that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and testify that I am the Messenger of Allah, and testify that this Qur’an is from Allah, Mighty and Majestic?” They said: “Yes, we testify to this.” He ﷺ said: “Rejoice, for this Qur’an is a rope from Allah, the Exalted, one end of it is in the hand of Allah, the Exalted, and the other end is in your hands. So hold fast to it; you will not go astray or perish after it, ever.”
