"عن الحسن قال: لما قدمَ أبو موسى البصرةَ كَتَبَ إليه عمرُ يقرأ الناس القرآن، فكتب إليه بِعِدَّةِ ناس قرأوا القرآن، فحمد اللَّه عمرُ، ثم كتب إليه في العام القابل بِعَدَّةٍ هى أَكْثَرُ من العِدَّةِ الأُولى، ثم كتب إليه في العام الثالث، فكتب إليه عمر يحمدُ اللَّهَ على ذلك وقال: إن بنى إسرائيل إنما هلكت حِينَ كَثُرَتْ قُرَّاؤُهُمْ".

"From al-Hasan: When Abu Musa came to Basrah, Umar wrote to him that the people should recite the Quran. He wrote to him with the number of people who had recited the Quran. Umar praised Allah. Then he wrote to him in the following year with a number greater than the first number. Then he wrote to him in the third year, and Umar wrote to him praising Allah for that and said: 'The Children of Israel were only destroyed when their reciters increased.'"
