أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ عَنِ الْمُعَافَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدٌ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي أَحْمَدَ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ بَعْثًا فَدَعَاهُمْ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ لِلرَّجُلِ «مَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ يَا فُلَانُ؟» قَالَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَاسْتَقْرَأَهُمْ بِذَلِكَ حَتَّى مَرَّ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ هُوَ مِنْ أَحْدَثَهُمْ سِنًّا فَقَالَ «مَاذَا مَعَكَ يَا فُلَانُ؟» قَالَ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَسُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَمَعَكَ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «اذْهَبْ فَأَنْتَ أَمِيرُهُمْ» قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَشْرَافِهِمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ «وَاللهِ مَا مَنَعَنِي أَنْ أَتَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ إِلَّا خَشْيَةَ أَنْ أَرْقُدَ وَلَا أَقُومَ بِهِ» فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «تَعَلَّمُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَاقْرَءُوهُ وَارْقُدُوا فَإِنَّ مَثَلَ الْقُرْآنِ لِمَنْ تَعَلَّمَهُ فَقَرَأَهُ وَقَامَ بِهِ كَمَثَلِ جِرَابٍ مَحْشُوٍّ مِسْكًا تَفُوحُ رِيحُهُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَمَثَلُ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَهُ فَرَقَدَ وَهُوَ فِي جَوْفِهِ كَمَثَلِ الْجِرَابِ أُوكِيَ عَلَى مَسْكٍ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ لَا أَعْرِفُهُ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ قَدْ حَدَّثَنَا عَنِ الْمُعَافَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ بِغَيْرِ حَدِيثٍ وَإِنَّمَا أَخْرَجْنَاهُ لِإِدْخَالِهِ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ مُعَافَى وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ غَيْرُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ فَأَرْسَلَهُ وَالْمَشْهُورُ مُرْسَلٌ

✧ I heard Abu Hurayra say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an expedition and summoned them. He began to ask each man: "How much of the Qur'an do you have with you, O so-and-so?" He replied: "Such and such." He questioned them all until he came to a man among them who was the youngest of them. He said: "What do you have with you, O so-and-so?" He said: "Such and such, and Surat al-Baqara." The Prophet ﷺ said to him: "Do you have Surat al-Baqara?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Go, for you are their commander." A man from their nobles said: "O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, nothing prevented me from learning the Qur'an except fear that I might sleep and not get up with it." The Prophet ﷺ said to him: "Learn the Qur'an, recite it, and sleep. The example of the Qur'an for one who learns it, recites it, and stands with it is like a bag stuffed with musk, whose fragrance spreads everywhere. And the example of one who learns it but sleeps while it is in his heart is like a bag tied over musk." Abu Abd al-Rahman said: Ishaq b. Abd al-Wahid I do not know, and Abd Allah b. Abd al-Samad has narrated to us from al-Mu'afa b. 'Imran more than one hadith. We only included it because of his insertion between him and Mu'afa. Others besides Abd al-Hamid b. Ja'far narrated it but made it mursal, and the well-known version is mursal.
