وَبِهِ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ:

بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَفْدًا إِلَى الْيَمَنِ، فَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَمِيرًا مِنْهُمْ، وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُهُمْ، فَمَكَثَ أَيَّامًا لَمْ يَسِرْ، فَلَقِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ، فَقَالَ: يَا فُلَانُ، مَا لَكَ، أَمَا انْطَلَقْتَ ؟ " قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَمِيرُنَا يَشْتَكِي رِجْلَهُ، فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، إِذْ نَفَثَ عَلَيْهِ: " بِسْمِ اللهِ وَبِاللهِ، أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّةِ اللهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِيهَا "، سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَبَرَأَ الرَّجُلُ. فَقَالَ لَهُ شَيْخٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَتُؤَمِّرُهَ عَلَيْنَا وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُنَا ؟ فَذَكَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قِرَاءَتَهُ لِلْقُرْآنِ، فَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَوْلَا أَنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ أَتَوَسَّدَهُ فَلَا أَقُومُ بِهِ لَتَعَلَّمْتُهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " تَعَلَّمْهُ، فَإِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الْقُرْآنِ كَجِرَابٍ مَلَأْتَهُ مِسْكًا، ثُمَّ رَبَطْتَ عَلَى فِيهِ، فَإِنْ فَتَحْتَ فَاحَ رِيحُ الْمِسْكِ، وَإِنْ تَرَكْتَهُ كَانَ مِسْكًا مَوْضُوعًا، كَذَلِكَ مَثَلُ الْقُرْآنِ إِذَا قَرَأْتَهُ، أَوْ كَانَ فِي صَدْرِكَ ".

✧ The Prophet ﷺ sent a delegation to Yemen and appointed over them a commander from among them, though he was the youngest of them. He stayed for some days without setting out. The Prophet ﷺ met one of them and said, 'O so-and-so, what is the matter with you? Have you not departed?' He said, 'O Messenger of Allah, our commander is complaining of pain in his leg.' The Prophet ﷺ came to him and blew over him: 'In the name of Allah and by Allah, I seek refuge in the might of Allah and His power from the evil of what is in it,' seven times, and the man recovered. An old man said to him, 'O Messenger of Allah, will you put him in command over us when he is the youngest of us?' The Prophet ﷺ then mentioned his recitation of the Qur'an. The old man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, were it not that I fear I would take it as a pillow and not rise with it, I would learn it.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: 'Learn it, for the likeness of the Qur'an is like a leather bag you have filled with musk and then tied its opening. If you open it, the fragrance of musk spreads; and if you leave it, it remains musk set aside. Similarly is the likeness of the Qur'an when you recite it or when it is in your heart.'
