In this episode, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani covers hadiths thirteen to fifteen from Imam Nabahani’s set of hadiths on the virtues of the Qur’an and its recitation. In hadith thirteen, we learn that there are three categories of people whom honouring is considered from affirming Allah Most High’s Majesty. One of theses categories is the bearer of the Qur’an who is not excessive with it or heedless of it. In hadith fourteen, we learn that how the Qur’an was an outward sign of pre-eminence when making burial decisions at the Battle of Uhud. Hadith fifteen indicates that one who recites the Qur’an in less than three days does not understand what they have recited. Shaykh Faraz explains that this is not an absolute ruling, as the discouragement is connected to a lack of understanding. He further explains that it is not an innovation to do something more than the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. Rather, this may be done with the right etiquettes, as there are many general calls to good deeds that are not restricted by number or place.
