In this episode, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani covers hadiths seven to nine from Imam Nabahani’s set of hadiths on the virtues of the Qur’an and its recitation. In hadith seven, we learn about the reward for reciting a single part of the Book of Allah Most High. Shaykh Faraz explains that the indication of the hadith would entail giving each and every single vowel and letter of the Qur’an it’s right and it’s due; to the extent that one does so, the spiritual transformative impact of their recitation is magnified. Hadith eight informs us about what is given to the one who is busied by the Qur’an and remembrance of Allah Most High from asking. Here, we learn about the superiority of Allah Most High’s speech over all other speech, and what it means to be “busied” by the Qur’an. Hadith nine tells us about the state of the one who has nothing of the Qur’an within him. Shaykh Faraz then continues the section on venerating knowledge and its people from Imam Zarnuji’s “Instruction of the Student”. Here, we learn about several additional etiquettes related to books, including never stretching one’s feet towards a book, nor placing anything on top of it.
